I can't give you numbers for the project as a whole, but for the MeeGo Netbook UX Shell, some of the projects can be found on oholoh, though the stats there might not up to date (and some of the project might have been renamed) but some of the key components that are there: http://www.ohloh.net/p/clutter, http://www.ohloh.net/p/clutter-imcontext, http://www.ohloh.net/p/clutter-gst, http://www.ohloh.net/p/clutter-gtk, http://www.ohloh.net/p/mx-toolkit, http://www.ohloh.net/p/mutter, http://www.ohloh.net/p/mutter-moblin, http://www.ohloh.net/p/librest, http://www.ohloh.net/p/mojito_project, These are, obviously, just a subset of what makes up the Shell, e.g., there are the various panels and other bits and pieces in addition to that, and work that is done in upstream projects that are not maintained by MeeGo. > - What are the different porgramming languages used to develope MeeGo > project? The MeeGo Netbook UX Shell is written almost entirely in C; the Media panel is an extension of Banshee, which is written in C# (and contributed to the project by Novell), I can't think of any C++ or other code in the Shell itself. IIRC, the core applications, with the Banshee (media player) being the exception, (browser, email, IM, PIM), are all upstream projects written in C, the garage application is I think written in C++. > - What is the number of developers and committers of the project? Again, I can't give you numbers for the project as a whole, but can give you some indicators for the MeeGo Netbook UX Shell (though as Greg said, I might be doing your work for you, as this can be readily gleaned out of the git logs and such). Anyway, the MeeGo Netbook UX Shell team is small; the typical 'team' working on each of the MeeGo Netbook Shell projects has the size of one, the clutter team is the biggest, IIRC about 4. Overall the MeeGo Netbook UX Shell team has around 15 developers or so; I can't do the whole of your essay for you, so I will leave you to draw your own conclusions from the oholoh stats (though one must take these with at least a small pinch of salt). :-) Obviously, there is more to MeeGo for Netbooks than just the Shell, and MeeGo (like any Linux distribution) relies on huge amount of work done in upstream FOSS projects, which make it possible in the first place, but I hope this, with some of the other info already provided in this thread, helps a bit in your understanding of MeeGo.
