papaya CMS

Mature, well-established codebase

The first lines of source code were added to papaya CMS in 2007. Projects with recent activity, and a code base more than five years old are likely solving vital problems and delivering consistent value, and may be organized to reward sustained effort by an engaged team of contributors.

Such a lengthy source control history in conjunction with recent activity may indicate that this code base and community are important enough to attract long-term commitment, and may also indicate a mature and relatively bug-free code base.

Note: The source code for papaya CMS 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.

Increasing Y-O-Y development activity

Over the last twelve months, papaya CMS 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.

Large, active development team

Over the past twelve months, 16 developers contributed to papaya CMS. This project has a relatively large team, in the top 10% of all project teams on Ohloh.  

For this measurement, Ohloh considers only recent changes to the code. Over the entire history of the project, 43 developers have contributed.

Average number of code comments

papaya CMS is written mostly in PHP.

Across all PHP projects on Ohloh, 31% of all source code lines are comments.

This holds true for papaya CMS as well. It contains the same ratio of comment lines to code lines as the majority of PHP projects in 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.
