Abstract

The Open Source Software (OSS) community came with a new paradigm for software development, and the tools commonly used by OSS teams to coordinate their work include version control systems and communication tools. However, there is a lack of groupware support for coordinating the development of OSS projects due to the fact that these tools are non-integrated. In this paper we describe the WS4CSCW, a web service that provides groupware support by integrating communication & coordination tools under a common conceptual model. This work is part of the SAFE project, which aims to develop a framework for supporting the OSS development process.
