Yeah, it's a lot to keep up with. But if you look at other projects on Ohloh and the number of contributors they have, it looks like we have about what you would expect given the somewhat smaller area we play in. The projects with more contributors are very general - they are going to have a much larger natural community to pull from - major web browsers, email clients, operating systems, chat clients, databases, source control systems, ftp clients, open office, etc. Our user base is smaller, our developer base is smaller. But from what I see, I think we stack up quite well. We are still in the top 2% of projects tracked by Ohloh looking at Lucene and Solr separately, not even as one project. (you do have to be careful when making contributor comparisons with Ohloh though - it seems Git projects count everyone as a contributor - even if you don't have commit rights to the main repo. For svn, only the committers are tracked.) -- - Mark --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
