Extracting Development Organization from Open Source Software

The increasing demand for open source software in various fields of computer science is obvious. Many developers adopt open source software in their development process, organization culture, and products. Hence, there are many cases where developers who are new to open source software should maintain and continue to develop the software. This paper suggests a methodology to evaluate unseen organizational effort for open source software. It proposes ways to coordinate developers to maintain it.
