	abstract = {We investigate how demand-driven documentation
is used by open source projects. Our study relies on questions
and answers (i.e., demand-driven documentation) posted to Stack
Overflow and focuses on two projects: Apache POI and Fennec
(Firefox for Android). We find that the demand-driven documentation
provided by respective community is of good quality and
contributions are made within an acceptable amount of time.
We conclude that demand-driven documentation can be suitable
as a primary information source if other resources accompany
it, e.g., websites. However, the suitability is closely related to
size and activity of the project{\textquoteright}s community. We also investigate
whether the type of project (e.g., API, application, product, etc.)
matters, and find that given the nature of a forum, projects
where the intended users are developers have larger and more
active communities and are thus better suited for demand-driven
documentation.},
