We examine the development process of a major open source application, the Apache web server. By using email archives of source code change history and problem reports we quantify aspects of developer participation, core team size, code ownership, productivity, defect density, and problem resolution interval for this OSS project. This analysis reveals a unique process, which performs well on important measures.}, keywords = {apache, bug fix revisions, bugs, core, cvs, defect density, developers, email archives, participation, productivity, revision control, revision history, roles, scm, source code, team size}, attachments = {https://flosshub.org/sites/flosshub.org/files/mockusapache.pdf}, author = {Audris Mockus and Roy Fielding and Herbsleb, James} }
