Hi MAD-Hackers, Hi Rob, I am researching what happens if a developer attempts to change the way a project works (in contrast to changing the software being developed) and have picked MAD as a small OSS project in long-term existence that seems to use a closed development strategy. I would be very interested in hearing if there was ever the need to modify the development process and if yes how successful have those changes been.

I put up a survey of 13 questions (should take between 10 and 20 minutes) at

http://survey.mi.fu-berlin.de/public/survey.php?name=changeEpisodeSurvey

but you can also email me directly if you prefer.

Thank you very much,

Christopher Oezbek

P.S.: If you are thinking about making such a change or are currently on it, feel free to drop me a note so I can share what I have learned so far.

P.P.S.: Results will be made available at

http://www.inf.fu-berlin.de/w/SE/SurveyChange

over the next month, where you can also find further information.
