| Abstract | Libre (free/open source) software provides an ample range of publicly available data sources about its development, which can be retrieved and analyzed. Consequently, it offers a good opportunity to build predictive estimation and evolution models. The main challenge to understand libre software development is that its development nature is radically different from 'classical' in-house software development, common in industry in the last decades. Developers and other human resources are generally a mixture of a few hired developers and many volunteers whose contribution (in number of hours per week and in total time devoted to the project) is not foreseeable in advance. This paper is a first step in finding predictive models in the libre software world. We have studied three data repositories (versioning system, mailing lists and bug tracking system) of GNOME, a large libre software project with several thousand contributors and several millions of lines of code, measuring activity and participation in it during the last years. Results and correlations for these sources allow us to adventure some first estimations of how participation and activity will evolve in the future. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
