This often manifests itself as a lack of codified knowledge that is easily accessible for community members. How decisions are made and expectations of a software system are often described in detail through the many forms of social communications that take place within a community. These social interactions form norms which are influential in dictating what behaviors are expected in a community and of the system. In this paper, we provide a tool which mines these social interactions (in the form of bug reports) and extract norms of the system, externalizing this information into a codified form that allows others within the community to be aware of without having witnessed the social interactions. %B 13th International Conference on Mining Software Repositories (MSR'16) %P 223-234 %8 05/2016 %R http://dx.doi.org/10.1145/2901739.2901744
