Abstract

In an idealized world, researchers work together to incrementally build an edifice of knowledge, and to disseminate this knowledge in accesible and usable form to the public. In the real world, each researcher tries to do new and interesting work and to get papers accepted. We believe that open source academic software development, when stream-lined according to the proper methodologies and using the proper tools, can help to meet these goals.

Research ideas get more impact if their prototypes get published as well.

Principles, techniques and experiences with developing open source software in an academic environment.
