I can't give data for a longer period because we only keep track of it for 2 days :) Come back next week for more :) There are of course many contributors that do not have a CVS account of their own. (Mostly doc, graphics, pr, translation ppl) There are somewhat more than 40 active translation teams, I assume that at least one member of each team has a cvs account, but I don't know the average team size. apps.kde.com has 1,725 registered applications, but that number includes Qt-only applications as well. It should be possible to get a hold of the number of registered bugreporters as well, but I don't know how. All in all I think that 1000/10000 is somewhat high and that 500/5000 is closer to reality. Still a guess of course :) Cheers, Waldo -- bastian@kde.org -=|[ SuSE, The Linux Desktop Experts ]|=- bastian@suse.com >> Visit http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-devel#unsub to unsubscribe <<
