Re: [xwiki-devs] An appeal for insight into the development of XWiki

Hello Vincent, Thank you for your swift response! I took my time and re-read the developer-section of XWiki in its entirety, and I have to admit the data provided there is quite extensive. But then again, this was one of the reasons this project caught my eye in the first place. Maybe my wording was a bit unfortunate when I described the topics I'd like to discuss. In using the available information about the process as a basis, I would like to go deeper with my questions, talking about background, personal experience, exceptions and the development of the process over time. In the case of XWiki, I'd also be particularly interested in the relationship between the Open Source development methods advocated on xwiki.org and the corporate structure of XWiki SAS. I chose the method of semi-structured qualitative interviews instead of a standardized survey or the analysis of available data because it is responsive, adaptable and allows for immediate feedback - and I'm a bit hesitant of spamming the developer mailing list with a series of questions and follow-ups. That's why I suggested a one-on-one talk - I did not intend any secrecy, and would of course disseminate the outcome of the conversation back to the community. But either way works for me. If you are (or anyone else is) still willing to answer my questions, I can also ask them here in this thread, if you prefer so. Kind regards, Martin
