Well-established codebase
The first lines of source code were added to JYAML - Joomla! Template Framework in 2007. If this older project has had recent activity, then this project likely is consistently delivering value, and attracts sustained effort from the community.
A longer source control history in conjunction with recent activity such as with this project, may indicate that this code base and community have enough value to hold contributors' interest for a long time. It may also 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 JYAML - Joomla! Template Framework 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.
