Hi all, I wanted to provide a few interesting observations about the codebase over the life of the project.
If you follow the codebase on Ohloh.net, we are now back down to the size we were in 2009 in absolute terms. This does not really measure actual terms because comments, blank lines, and documentation is counted. In the time since 2009, our comments have grown by nearly 25% largely due to efforts to add POD to the perl files. When we start subtracting documentation, however, the picture changes dramatically. About a third of what Ohloh shows is XML documentation, mostly for the database. Removing this, the HTML documentation, and the manual's LaTeX sources, we get a even more. The codebase in terms of lines of actual Perl (not including comments or documentation) is smaller than it has been since we started the project. In general we have been adding features, and doing quite a bit more with a bit less. The entire increase in codebase size over the life of the project is due to better documentation, not more code. Just seemed interesting and figured I would pass it along.
