Abstract
 * This paper describes the use of free software in the analysis of qualitative sociological, or the software that are called Computer Assisted Qualitative Data Analysis Software or CAQDAS.
 * Although this type of research is the heritage of other disciplines, such as psychology or anthropology, in this paper we will focus our attention to sociology, for disciplinary congruence with the interests of current participants in the project.

(a) to stimulate a debate on the use of free software to conduct analysis of qualitative data; (b) promote the use of existing resources to conduct analysis of qualitative data; (c) encouraged the development of solutions tailored to the needs of the individual researcher, rather than forcing the researcher to adapt to the software.
 * Sociological analysis is a qualitative research methodology that focuses on the work of scientists and researchers on data, and that lends itself well to the use of software products in support of the research.
 * For the same reason, the limitations of proprietary solutions can become limitations to the freedom of research or at least to the potential of the methodology.
 * In this paper, we describe two different experiences.
 * The first is a project for the development of a CAQDAS package based on Drupal, a project supported by the University of Trento.
 * The second is focused on using the browser Firefox Add-on to conduct a qualitative analysis of data from the Web
 * The aims of this article are:

4 QDA WITH ADD-ON FOR FIREFOX

 * These notes are part of one of the authors of the research being done on the phenomenon of "cheating" (cheat / cheating) in Massive Multiplayer Online Games (MMOPRGs) (Depaoli and Kerr, 2010).
 * Without going into too much about the details, this research is conducted primarily through the Internet and collecting data in the specific research data are mainly composed by discussions of Internet Forum.
 * On a forum users often form a virtual community and discuss issues in common (for example, an online game), or one of its sub-section (for example, "exchange of virtual objects" in a video game).
 * The content of the Internet Forum, like any other content delWorld Wide Web can be recovered and sailed through the use of a browser.
 * In particular, in this research on cheating, was used one of the main Web Browser free: FireFox.
 * This section describes some of the Firefox browser add-on that have been used in this research during the collection and analysis of data.

4.2 Analysis of data
Research on cheating has also seen a phase of data analysis. In particular, it was decided to adopt a Grounded Tehory (GT) (Charmaz. 2006). The GT is an approach that aims to build social theories based on a recursive approach and inductive coding of data and concepts. The GT involves the creation of codes, similar to real "tags" that can be applied to portions of data (text in this case). Many codes are then to compose higher level categories (concepts), the organization of which should lead to the construction of a theory. The first Add-On for Firefox is useful for analyzing Wired Marker (http://www.wiredmarker.org/en/). It is a "highlighter indelible and permanent" to use on Web pages The highlighted content is also able to be easily recovered and Displayed through of bookmarks which may be organized in folders. In short, Wired Marker allows you to associate a "code / bookmark" portions of the text of web pages. The text can be associated with the bookmark simply pointing with the mouse cursor and then transported with an operation of "drag and drop" to the bookmark / folder WM (Figure 4). The text associated with each code can subsequently be recovered evisualizzato (Figure 5).
