[论文推荐] On the huge importance of non-tech roles in Open Source: Empirical study on NPM

[will-ww]

一篇不错的论文，可以考虑推荐到我们的论文库中：

• On the huge importance of non-tech roles in Open Source: Empirical study on NPM
• https://livablesoftware.com/importance-of-non-tech-contributor-roles-open-source/

This paper aims to investigate whether this is actually the case by analyzing the frequency and diversity of non-coding contributions in OSS development. Is the number of non-coding contributors indeed significant, or OSS projects are still very much “code-driven”? And, what about the contributor diversity?, i.e., are these contributors only collaborating to the project in these non-coding roles, or are they just the same group of core developers taking all types of roles depending on the needs of the project? Or, are these non-coding contributors migrating to coding roles?. These are some of the questions we have studied in the paper: On the analysis of non-coding roles in open source development led by Javier Cánovas and published in the Empirical Software Engineering Journal.

读了下，论文里定义了几类角色，特别是把developer（参与pr贡献）reporter（参与）comment（评论的人）reactor（使用reaction的人）区分开，这点比之前我们度过的论文细很多
特别是，里面提到了一个叫SourceCred的工具，也是用作量化社区贡献的，地址是https://sourcecred.io/ ，一会跑一下试一试～

折腾了半天，用sourcecred跑了下opendigger的结果

Description	Cred	%
open-digger-bot	836.7	46.1%
frank-zsy	574.2	31.6%
sunshinemingo	100.0	5.5%
xiaoya-yaya	57.1	3.1%

这里应该是值配置了计算pr相关的

具体的使用方法见：https://github.com/sourcecred/template-instance#setup-and-usage

一会再更合理地配置一下跑一遍和我们的openrank进行下对比～

调了半天 cred值没啥变化，可能是哪里搞错了😅
