Igor,
The mailing list strips out most attachments, so if you could post the image
some other place that would be helpful. One thing to realize is that storm has
been on github since it was open sourced. We migrated from
https://github.com/nathanmarz/storm/ to Apache. In Apache we first mirrored
the repo at https://github.com/apache/incubator-storm and then at
https://github.com/apache/storm. The complete history is in here for all of
that. Also be aware that we are in the process of merging with the jstorm
project that has its own history. It started out as a fork of storm, but we
have their repository copied into ours as well on a different branch, but I am
not sure on all of the history with that and how much of the history is in our
repository.Obrigado,
Bobby

Hi there,
I'm a researcher studying software evolution. As part of my current research,
I'm studying the implications of migrating an open-source software project to
GitHub, for instance, if the project succeed in attracting newcomers. Storm was
in my list.
To further analyze the impacts of Storm migration, we analyzed the git log
commit history of your project in terms of number of contributions, number of
newcomers, and number of contributors per month. The following figure presents
a temporal perspective regarding these three measures.
Given the numbers presented in the graphic, we would like to ask Storm
developers the following questions:
1. What motivated the project to migrate to Github? How do you evaluate the
benefits of this migration?
2. Does this snapshot make sense? Did you find any inconsistency on the data?
3. Do you have any internal policy to promote/attract/retain newcomers? If so,
do them succeed?
4. There is a decrease on the number of newcomers and contributions between
2012 and 2014. Do you have any explanation for that?
5. Similarly, why the number of newcomers and contributors increased that much
after 2014?
Thanks in advance for your collaboration,
