There is a constant drumbeat to expand the number of developers. To quote Chris DiDona, Danese Cooper, and Mark Stone (Open Sources 2.0 ISBN 0-596-00802-3, pXXVIII): Brooks' Law appears to set a fundamental limit on the optimal size of programming teams -- and a rather small limit at that. Empirical evidence supports Brooks's Law. For example, since its inception SourceForge.net has maintained very close to a 10:1 ratio of registered users to registered projects, suggesting that open source development projects seldom have more than 10 active developers.
