Compiz facts and statistics

[mikedee]

I came across this site recently which has some interesting facts and statistics about Compiz.

http://www.ohloh.net/projects/3659

Over the past twelve months, 30 developers contributed new code to Compiz.

This is one of the largest open-source teams in the world, and is in the top 2% of all project teams on Ohloh

For comparison

Over the past twelve months, 29 developers contributed new code to Apache HTTP Server

This made me laugh

Across all C/C++ projects on Ohloh, 20% of all source code lines are comments. For Compiz, this figure is only 4%.

This lack of comments puts Compiz among the lowest 10% of all C/C++ projects on Ohloh.

A high number of comments might indicate that the code is well-documented and organized, and could be a sign of a helpful and disciplined development team.

You know what they say about statistics though...

Thanks for that, that was really an interesting read.

The code size graph here (http://www.ohloh.net/projects/3659/analyses/latest) also is pretty impressive.

And most important: That tool finally makes the amount of code contribution measurable :P

(just kidding ;) )

Congrats on your number 3 status and your 6 kudos score :)

I have to admit I was a bit surprised to see you only a couple of commits behind, I must try harder :)
