Hi,
There was a little discussion on lwn.net about the staggering amount of
support that LibreOffice is seeing. I hunted down some statistics from
various pages because at first I also couldn't believe the numbers:
https://lwn.net/Articles/454200/
According to ohloh (BTW is there a free alternative to that
service?) it is even more than 400 committers over the last
year: http://www.ohloh.net/p/libreoffice/factoids/7758072
cia.vc also reports a staggering amount of commit messages:
"32812 messages since the first one, 0.84 years ago, for an
average of 13.39 minutes between messages"
http://cia.vc/stats/project/libreoffice
Their wiki says there are 277 active users (who made changes the
last 3 months), with a total of 32,311 edits:

The LibreOffice credits page has even more people listed (611
committers, 1005 wiki contributors), but read the fine print
about double counting and also recognizing previous
OpenOffice.org contributors:
http://www.libreoffice.org/about-us/credits/
I could not find statistics for their mailinglists:
http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/
But their main development mailinglist
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice/ is seeing
between 1200 and 1700 messages a month. gmane might be able to
give some statistics about the others:
http://gmane.org/find.php?list=documentfoundation
There were some followup questions about statistics of contributors for
translations and documentation. Does anybody have more accurate numbers
on those (or as accurate as these things get, I understand that all
statistics are lies)? Or better estimates of the numbers I found above?
Thanks,
Mark
