MacGPG2

Very well-commented source code

MacGPG2 is written mostly in C.

Across all C projects on Ohloh, 19% of all source code lines are comments. For MacGPG2, this figure is 45%.

This very impressive number of comments puts MacGPG2 among the top 10% of all C 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.

Well-established codebase

The first lines of source code were added to MacGPG2 in 2010. 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 MacGPG2 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.

Small development team

Over the past twelve months, 3 developers contributed new code to MacGPG2, making this a relatively small project team.  

For this measurement, Ohloh considers only recent changes to the code. Over the entire history of the project, 8 developers have contributed.

Stable Y-O-Y development activity

Over the last twelve months, MacGPG2 has not seen any change in activity. This may be a good sign, and an indication that development is continuing at the same pace and not dropping off.

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.
