After the first book about managing Free Software / Open Source projects, here you can find another and older (2002) methodology for managing a free software project: Free Software Project Management HOWTO, by Benjamin “Mako” Hill.
As I said before, this kind of guides are important as inspiration for open p2p projects, especially if we se them up using the web and networked software as the most important part of the collaborative activity’s platform.
This HOWTO is designed for people with experience in programming and some skills in managing a software project but who are new to the world of free software. This document is meant to act as a guide to the non-technical aspects of free software project management and was written to be a crash course in the people skills that aren’t taught to commercial coders but that can make or break a free software project.
