Over the past twelve months, 2 developers contributed new code to AceSearch, making this a relatively small project team.
AceSearch is written mostly in PHP.
Across all PHP projects on Ohloh, 31% of all source code lines are comments. For AceSearch, this figure is only 17%.
This lack of comments puts AceSearch among the lowest one-third of all PHP projects on Ohloh.
A high number of comments might indicate that the code is well-documented and organized, and could be a sign of a helpful and disciplined development team.
The source code repository for AceSearch has less than a year of continuous activity. This likely is a relatively new project.
A short history is not necessarily a bad thing (all projects have to start somewhere!) but often, newer projects are changing rapidly and are thus less stable. They are also often innovative and exciting!
As this project matures, a longer source control history in conjunction with recent activity might indicate that the project has enough merit to hold contributors' interest for a long time. It might indicate a mature and relatively bug-free code base, and can be a sign of an organized, dedicated development team.
Note: The source code for AceSearch might actually be older than the source control history can reveal. Many new projects begin by incorporating a large amount of source code from existing, older projects. You might be able to tell whether this is the case by looking for a rapid rise in the amount of code early in the project's history.
