[QSOS-general] Comparing Assessment Methodologies for Free/Open Source

[Raphael Semeteys]

Hi,

I just discovered your paper "Comparing Assessment Methodologies for Free/Open 
Source Software: OpenBRR & QSOS".
It is very interesting, specially because it give us an external point of view 
on QSOS and on how it compares to OpenBRR. 

Do not hesitate to contact me if you need more precisions regarding QSOS and 
its roadmap. For instance we do intent to add a <source> tag in our XML format 
(http://qsos.org/wiki/index.php/XML_formats).

I've read in the conclusion that you intended to create a new Assessment 
Methodology. Maybe we could discuss a little more on what you don't like in 
QSOS because, since it's a free project, it is expected to change and to be 
changed by a community.

I had an interesting discussion with OpenBRR guys a few years ago on our 
scoring models. We choose a 3-level scoring scale to one make evaluating work 
the more independant from any other one. Our strategy was : fewer levels 
(bad/average/good or no covered/partially covered/fully covered) for less 
subjectivity...

I hope to read you soon.
