That sounds about right. The project has been around for >15 years (I think xAccountant, GnuCash's predecessor, was first released around 1996). So yeah, if you imagine we had 6 developers over 15 years, that sounds about right. I think think that at any point in time we definitely had 6-10 devs working (albeit not necessarily full time). -derek > At least that's what the program sloccount claims.
