Anyway, a thing is certain... Gentoo didn't loosed dev's attention. Was it on planet.g.o where i read something about Dunbar's number[1]? A highly interesting subject and it might be possible that the "Monkeyspheres" of Gentoo devs do not overlap sufficiently. There is only one solution to this problem: You need to go out and get drunk together! ;) [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunbar%27s_number -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list

However I'm not sure it's accurate; over the last two months, new bugs filed has consistently been double the number of bugs closed or resolved; typically some 700-800 new bugs a week and 300-400 closed/resolved a week - however the total number of open bugs over the same period has increased by just 372 bugs from 9947 to 10319 (total new + reopened - closed = 3791). -- Kevin F.

Gnome ( + a few dependencies) == 150 KDE == 15 KDE (modular) == 289 ( + 10 for kdebindings-meta and dependencies) X.Org (7.0) == 190 Now, gnome's always been a bit big, but KDE went from 15 to 300, and X.Org went from one to 190. By the way, all these numbers are from the input files I used for my "keyword" script when marking these on x86. -- Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering - Strategic Lead x86 Architecture Team Games - Developer Gentoo Linux signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

[gentoo-dev] Gentoo activity graphs
Every now and then someone get sick of Gentoo and suddenly became prophet, preaching that the end of the distro is near. I wanted to see how much should we worry about it so I've made a perl script to find the history of the following characteristics: - no. of active developers (active dev := did at least a commit in that month) - no. of commits / month The data and the perl script used to obtain it are available at http://dev.gentoo.org/~mrness/gentoo-activity-2006-06/ . I am aware those characteristics are quantitative and don't say anything about the quality of the distribution. However, judging after those graphs, even the worst basher will recognize that we are far from being dead. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
