Other interesting statistics: http://www.svnsearch.org/svnsearch/repos/ASF/search?from=20090101&to=20091231&path=%2Fxmlgraphics%2Fbatik http://www.svnsearch.org/svnsearch/repos/ASF/search?from=20090101&to=20091231&path=%2Fxmlgraphics%2Ffop http://www.svnsearch.org/svnsearch/repos/ASF/search?from=20090101&to=20091231&path=%2Fxmlgraphics%2Fcommons Generally, the (updated) report sounds fine. One thing that concerns me a bit is the growing patch queue in Batik and FOP. Batik Patch Queue: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&bug_status=NEEDINFO&product=Batik&query_format=advanced&short_desc=[PATCH]&short_desc_type=allwordssubstr&order=bug_id FOP Patch Queue: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&bug_status=NEEDINFO&product=Fop&query_format=advanced&short_desc=[PATCH]&short_desc_type=allwordssubstr&order=bug_id Good patches that don't get processed will drive potential committers away at some point. And patches can go out of date. But I still have no recipe to get our project more active. I've been trying to recruit FOP users to participate in the development ever since I went independent, with only little success. Some people are often happier to pay for a little extension or fix (which made a good part of my income in the last few years) than to dive in themselves and take more control. And most simply expect others to work for them for free. And then there's the problem that spare fun time to do things not work/client-related is usually very limited. Sigh.
