Abstract

Open source software requires a collaborative software development process. We present an approach to collaborative software development where obtaining components and contributing components across organizational or project boundaries are explicit phases in the development process. A lightweight generative infrastructure supports this approach with an online package base, and several generators that simplify the construction and composition of component packages. The infrastructure ensures availability, portability, and adaptability of components without centralized orchestration of the development process. The infrastructure was developed in the context of XT, an ongoing open source project concerned with program transformation tools.
