<commit_before>\subsubsection{The Reasons for Project Choice}
Much has been written about motivations in open source software
contributions {\footnote GET CITES!}, and I wanted to find out about the motivations behind people's choice of projects
to work on in this class. 
The {\bf overwhelming majority} (67\%) of question respondents (n=24) 
reported that the project goal---i.e, the audience and functionality---was the most
important aspect. Technical matters (including the state of the project and the
skills required) and community norms trailed far behind, with 17\% and 14\%
respectively. A single person (4\%) chose Other, commenting "my own interests and skills I can get."

The narrative elaborations reveal that motivations are determined by alignment with personal
values, with skill sets 

{\it Interesting quotes from those elaborations:}\begin{itemize}
\item "As a self-confessed idealist, 
what really sold me about the Hypothes.is project was the their huge plans. I liked the big picture thinking."
\item "A shared, peer-distributed datastore is its own reward."
\item "I wasn't the most technically sound person so i knew that i wouldn't 
necessarily be contributing to the coding of the project. I wanted to be apart of a 
project that did good in the world because i believe the power of open source is 
underutilized in philanthropy."
\item "To me, all open source projects have a benign motto. Therefore, my decision criteria mainly
 depended on the technical aspects of the project. I want to contribute in an area where I 
 can understand their system better and contribute to the best of my abilities."
 \item "I am very interested in technology that facilitates spreading and creating knowledge, 
and have struggled first-hand with the current limitations in the process of consuming, 
sharing, and building upon scientific literature."

Of course, people elaborated on the other motivations as well:\begin{itemize}
\item "Project seemed like a good technical challenge, from which I could improve my Javascript 
skills and general code organization."
\item "I wanted a community that was open and friendly, and I found that to be more 
important than anything else. "
