CDR-Stats

Increasing Y-O-Y development activity

Over the last twelve months, CDR-Stats has seen a substantial increase in activity. This may be a sign that interest in this project is rising, and that the open source community has embraced this project.

Ohloh makes this determination by comparing the total number of commits made by all developers during the most recent twelve months with the same figure for the prior twelve months. The number of developers and total lines of code are not considered.

Average size development team

Over the past twelve months, 4 developers contributed to CDR-Stats. This is an average size team compared to all projects on Ohloh.  

For this measurement, Ohloh considers only recent changes to the code. Over the entire history of the project, 9 developers have contributed.

Young, but established codebase

The first lines of source code were added to CDR-Stats in May, 2010. If this young project has had recent activity, then it likely has passed its critical early start-up period, and has become established. The project still may be rapidly changing, innovative and exciting, and finding its focus.

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 CDR-Stats 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.

Few source code comments

CDR-Stats is written mostly in JavaScript.

Across all JavaScript projects on Ohloh, 20% of all source code lines are comments. For CDR-Stats, this figure is only 10%.

This lack of comments puts CDR-Stats among the lowest one-third of all JavaScript 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.
