Neat - the interesting thing is that the number of commits we do has reduced in the last 12 months as git usage and pull requests are becoming the norm - more review means less churn (commit/fix/fix/fix/fix) in master. In addition, we've had a feature freeze for about 6 months as well!

Cheers,
Jonathan

In fact as some are duplicates or subsections of a project XBMC is more likely in the top 30 - 40!

Amazing work - but I knew that before :-)

Thats actually really interesting for the state of opensource in general.

"Only a small fraction of all the projects ever started gain longterm traction."

"Less than 5% of all projects on Ohloh are “live”: a commit in the past year, and more than 1 committer, ever"
