BTW I don't know how those numbers look in other, comparable, OSS communities. Could it be the same?
Easy to find out. Using the "80% rule" (i.e., how many contributors make up at least 80% of the commits) we end up with:
- http://source.squeak.org/39a: 2 contributors (sd, md)
- http://source.squeak.org/310: 1 contributor (edc)
- http://squeaksource.com/Pharo: 2 contributors (sd, md)
- http://squeaksource.com/Seaside30: 3 contributors (lr, jf, pmm)
Cheers, - Andreas
Even the number of methods changed is an unfair measurement. Each change does not have the same value. The number of features added or improved counts more than the number of methods changed to achieve this goal. Personnaly, I would count number of methods removed or made unloadable/reloadable. Maybe a single change makes 100 methods unloadable.
