FOSS Evaluation

Pre Alpha

The Foss Evaluation program will help facilitate the interaction between researchers and the FOSS/HFOSS projects on the Internet. It will provide an easy to use interface to search and find a project based on given criteria. The main functions of the Foss Evaluation program are to not only search for a project, but also to retrieve and display the following information, if available: project name, project description, lines of codes, number of commits, maturity of the project, number of downloads, average number of downloads and average number of commits. Based on this information, it can be easily determined if a project would be an appropriate candidate for a project for students or a particular class.

** Features **

• Search for HFOSS/FOSS project by name
  
• Retrieve specified data from various internet sources on project
  
• Display HFOSS/FOSS project data in a clean, simple interface
  
• Use Ohloh and Sourceforge as primary HFOSS/FOSS reference sources
