Zusammenfassung
Libre software projects offer abundant information about
themselves in publicly available storages (source code
snapshots, CVS repositories, etc), which are a good source
of quantitative data about the project itself, and the software
it produces. The retrieval (and partially the analysis) of all
those data can be automated, following a simple methodology
aimed at characterizing the evolution of the project.
Since the base information is public, and the tools used are
libre and readily available, other groups can easily reproduce
and review the results. Since the characterization offers
some insight on the details of the project, it can be used
as the basis for qualitative analysis (including correlations
and comparative studies). In some cases, this methodology
could also be used for proprietary software (although usually
losing the benefits of peer review). This approach is
shown, as an example, applied to MONO, a libre software
project implementing parts of the .NET framework
