Just finished reading Matthias Sturmer's (153-page!) paper, "Open Source Community Building." Sturmer does a decent job of providing a high-level view of what attributes successful open source projects share. I'm not sure that Sturmer breaks new ground, but I'm also unaware of anyone else that has attempted to synthesize commonalities between successful open source projects. Thanks for doing the work, Matthias. Sturmer reviews the following open source projects: Plone (CMS framework), Magnolia (CMS), Cocoon (Web application framework), Kupu (WYSIWYG browser editor), Lenya (CMS), Typo3 (CMS), eZ Publish (CMS), and Xaraya (CMS and application framework). Aside from a common content management theme, with a mostly European base, Sturmer chooses a nice cross-section of open source projects.
