共享的理解对于软件开发很重要，因为它们指导有效的个人贡献和软件开发过程的协调。然而，尚不清楚这种理解是否可以在高度分散的群体中发展，这些群体不定期面对面地见面。在本文中，我们提出了一个自由/自由开放源码软件（FLOSS）开发团队内的共享心理模型的初步分析结果。我们使用认知映射和过程分析来分析心理模型，并比较了Apache Lucene Java项目的四位开发人员的模型。我们的分析表明，核心开发人员之间的共享程度很高，但共享并不完全，在项目中的任期和角色方面存在一些差异。最后，我们提出了进一步研究的方向，在FLOSS团队共享的心理模型。
Shared understandings are important for software development as they guide effective individual contributions and coordination of the software development process. However, it is not clear if such understandings can be developed in highly distributed groups that do not regularly meet face-to-face. In this paper, we present the results of a preliminary analysis of shared mental models within a Free/Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS) development team. We analyzed mental models using cognitive mapping and process analysis and compared the models of four developers from the Apache Lucene Java project. Our analysis suggests that there is a high level of sharing among core developers but the sharing is not complete, with some differences related to tenure and role in the project. Finally, we suggest directions for further research on shared mental models in FLOSS teams.
