Project

We decided to analyze React.

ReactJS is a Javascript Library for constructing user interfaces. It’s very versatile and the component-based architecture makes development more predictable and fluid.

React’s public repository

We felt that an analysis of React would gain us some interesting insights into the development of a project that gained massive popularity over a short period of time.

Easy Parts

well documented lots of experts on the project history / contributors history is well documented

Addressing Challenges

• The size of the project is large.

  • Use git by a truck, which is a fork of git by a bus for large projects.

• There are many contributors, and multiple communication streams.

  • Communicate directly with the main experts on React.

• React has been rapidly evolving as a project and community.

  • Compare our findings with previous analysis on React
