Both are enrolled in ohloh. http://www.ohloh.net/p/zeromq and http://www.ohloh.net/p/rabbitmq Both are active; rabbit appears to have more commiters (~10) vs 0mq (~5). 0mq is a year younger than rabbit, and created by the folk that created amqp; it is reasonable to characterise it as amqp 2.0 in the sense that they have iterated on the basic ideas and concepts, though the protocol is (AIUI) fairly different). I don't think the project size difference is large enough to really be a factor here. Theres a lot of buzz and review and comparisons between mq's at the moment. 0mq and rabbitmq both consistently show up. -Rob _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev Post to : launchpad-dev@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
