Request for data about development

[Katharine Anderson <andersok@umich.edu>]

Hi--
My name is Katharine Anderson, and I'm a researcher at the University  
of Michigan, in Ann Arbor. My work looks at collaboration and problem  
solving. I'm currently working on a paper that looks at the structure  
of collaboration networks. I'm looking at how people with diverse  
skills group together when solving problems, and it occurred to me  
that the open-source software community is a perfect example of the  
phenomenon that I'm interested in. I was wondering if there was any  
way that I could get data on participation in development groups? Is  
there someone who I could talk to about that?

Thanks very much!
