[Opensg-core] Survey of tag usage into Trac

[<adr...@un...>]

Dear OpenSG's developer,

we are conducting a survey of tag usage into collaborative development 
environments, specifically Trac. Our aim is to clarify the 
state-of-the-practice of tagging, methods of implementation as well as 
prospects and problems within it.

As you are developing software within the OpenSG project, we would like 
to kindly ask you to answer our questions below by replying to this 
e-mail message.

The results of the inquiry will be treated confidentially and the 
analysis will be performed anonymously. If you wish we will send you 
the summary of the outcome of the survey complemented with related 
research results during Spring 2010.

If you're interested in finding out more about the survey, we are more 
than pleased to answer your questions!

Looking forward your contribution, your expertise and opinions are very 
valuable to us!

Best Regards,

Domenico Gendarmi, Filippo Lanubile and Adriana Napolitano
