Good point. The stats can favor big, complex projects where lots of CVS commits, bug queries on the forums, and bug fixes are necessary.
When you have a simple, yet powerful framework with a high power-to-weight ratio (as Jonathan likes to call it) you tend to have less complex code and fewer bugs which means less "activity" on the project. But still, anything above 95% I tend to consider a relatively healthy project and Wicket is above 99.5% (assuming the stats are correct). - Jonathan >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2005-05-25 2:54:51 PM >>> Jonathan Carlson wrote: >It appears that the statistics on SourceForge have been fixed.

We didn't do too much on publicity: no articles, no books, no Tapestry is evil use Wicket campaign. We did the 4000 downloads by ourselves. Half of the downloads come from the last 2 months, so that is also telling. I think we owe a lot to Tim Boudreau, who generated a lot of hits at the beginning of april. >Personally, when evaluating a tool, I tend to put a lot of weight on >those numbers to determine whether or not a project is thriving or not. > > The activity percentage don't do it for me. Almost all projects that are somewhat active are in the 95%+ percentage. That doesn't tell me much. I tend to look at the CVS records: when was the last update for the project, how much activity is on the forum and/or mailinglist and whether the last release was relatively recent (which reminds me to work on jwebunit sometime soon). As the statistics are just brought online, I suspect they still have to fix some bugs, so I wouldn't trust the figures too much...
