There are actually a number of historians looking at version/source control (although there still remains a dearth of study, given the importance of the issue). Michael Mahoney, Michael Cusumano, and N.L. Esmenger are three of the more important. For a contextualization of the history, see my short presentation (at UCLA): http://www.iqdupont.com/networked-modes-of-production/ http://www.iqdupont.com/networked-modes-of-production/
- keithpeter 15y agoScholarship of this kind is important as it gathers secondary references for future works of synthesis as well as preventing the repetition of mistakes! Is anyone doing a decent work of synthesis for the history of computing in general? Something like Judt/Postwar or TARUSKIN/History of Western Music?
