Title
Preliminary lessons from a software evolution analysis of Moodle
Abstract
Educational organizations are relying more frequently on free/open source software for their infrastructure. This is mainly because of lower costs and higher versatility. But gaining overview on this type of projects is not easy, as they are usually developed with a geographically distributed team, with many volunteers and even several companies collaborating. The quality of such projects is not easily to assess, or the risk exists that the project is not sustainable. In this paper, we present a preliminary software evolution analysis that allows to gain insight into a free/open source software project. This analysis offers the possibility to take informed decisions. We have selected therefore the well-known Moodle educational project as a case study
