Well-established codebase

The first lines of source code were added to Sciret Knowledge Base in 2006. 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 Sciret Knowledge Base 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.

Over 75% of all projects on Ohloh have no recent activity. Open source has a "long tail" of projects whose developers have moved on. But the code is still there for all to benefit from!
