I believe some numbers have made it into the Signpost around when the monthly reports come out. Paraphrasing from memory, the basic trend has been: * Overall number of monthly commits is down (this is expected to some degree due to lack of "followups") * Number of contributors in labs/gerrit accounts has been increasing, and hasn't seem to hit a plateau just yet (new accounts every month) -Chad _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
