Just messing with a new program, I never bothered looking before at :-
Forrest contains 18,344 Files in 9,004 (?) Folders using a total of

I suspect you are counting the svn files here too, that more than
doubles the file count.
/lib is the greediest hogging 34 %
Not alot we can do about that, Cocoon is a bit bloated. However, If
someone needs a small production footprint for Forrest it is possible to
shrink this with various tools. I'm no expert on this, but I know it can
be done.
/tools is right up there with 24 %
Some stuff in tools can go.
/whiteboard is next with 18%
Whiteboard could do with a spring clean I think, There is plenty of
stuff in there that has no maintainer.
then comes plugins, site-author and main totalling 21 % (8%,7%,6%)
It has been proposed that plugins move out of trunk and into their own
branch.
Site-author can shrink considerably if we switch to using the
locationmap since files that are the same in 0.8-dev can come from the
0.7 repository. We only need to duplicate them when they get are changed
with 0.8-dev specific info. However, this is a very big job, I propose
doing this when we move to 0.9-dev. At that point I think the plan is to
retire the 0.6 docs, so this folder should shrink alot at that point.
Main will shrink as more stuff is moved out to plugins.
And how many are here maintaining all this ?
Remember, much of this stuff is libraries from other projects (the 34%
in lib and a great deal in tools, for example).
Still, we do need more people.
