Martin Aspeli’s 2006 dissertation is a great history of Plone up to, obviously,
~2006.

Do we have other community stats we can use, or history of the project from a
community perspective?
I want to write a post called Plone: Of the People, By the People, For the
People.

My conclusion from all of this is not to rely too much on Ohloh's stats; they
are often quite inaccurate.

I think it's good to emphasize how open and collaborative the community
is, but wise to avoid direct comparisons with competitors, because it is a
bit of apples and oranges due to different community management
structures.
+1 to Jon's comments (I drafted this message last night …)

Only 22 Drupal contributors?
http://www.ohloh.net/projects/drupal/factoids/865231 suggests:
Over the past twelve months, only 3 developers contributed new code
and
Over the entire history of the project, 10 developers have contributed
http://www.ohloh.net/projects/drupal/contributors counts 22.
At http://www.ohloh.net/projects/drupal/reviews a reviewer comments:
stats are wrong, because many developers contribute to Drupal, but only a
few developers have necessary rights to commit code into Drupal core
repositories. This ensures a very high quality in Drupal's core code base.
The 10 ≠ 22 discrepancy remains unexplained.
For Plone at http://www.ohloh.net/projects/plone/reviews we might add a
comparable review, with reference to
http://plone.org/documentation/manual/plone-developer-
reference/overview/release-process
and/or simply highlight:
* Release Manager
― one elected individual
* Framework team
― currently five individuals
― http://plone.org/about/team/FrameworkTeam.
Drupal gains a community rating of 4.3/5.0
based on 111 user ratings. 111/280 = ratings from ~39% of Drupal users at
Ohloh.
Plone gains a community rating of 4.3/5.0
based on 61 user ratings. 61/107 = ratings from ~57% of Plone users at
Ohloh.
http://www.ohloh.net/projects/plone/factoids/740563 notes:
Over the last twelve months, Plone has seen a substantial decline in
development activity … Ohloh makes this determination by comparing total
number of commits made by all developers during the most recent twelve
months with the same figure for the twelve months before that. The number
of developers and total lines of code are not considered.
The April/May 2006 burst is remarkable in the videos mentioned at
http://n2.nabble.com/Plone-Code-Swarm-tp1374267p1374267.html but that's
more than 24 months ago so the perceived decline is probably attributable to
other factors.

Graham
