Community metrics/November 2012

WORK IN PROGRESS This draft will be officially published on December 1st or later.

In the next report we aim to integrate useful data from mediawiki.org and the Bitergia reports.

To be mentioned:


 * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2012-11-12/Technology_report
 * https://toolserver.org/~bawolff/gerrit-stats.htm
 * the number of active users in Bugzilla per the requested query was in November: 441
 * http://blog.bitergia.com/2012/12/03/complete-basic-analysis-of-mediawiki/
 * Take "new" contributors data with a grain of salt and help claiming that data for the real developers.

Code
The Wikimedia community includes about 506 code contributors active in the past 12 months. A total of 884 developers have contributed code to Wikimedia projects since the first MediaWiki commit in April 2003. The total sum appears to be 5,6M lines of code.

MediaWiki
MediaWiki is the largest project by far, with 925,424 lines of code written by a total of 338 contributors, from which 150 (was 140) have been active in the past 12 months.

Last month
 * 490 commits (was 698 in October, 498 in September).
 * Code contributions came from 54 contributors (was 56), including 7 new potential contributors.

12 months
 * 6898 commits (was 6927), down -472 (6%) from previous 12 months. The decrease probably is due to the different approach to commits on SVN (past) vs Git (now). Nothing to worry about, apparently.
 * 150 contributors (was 139), up +70 (87%) from previous 12 months. WMF hires and Git adoption might seem to be the main causes of this great increase. Some cases of multiple email addresses for one contributors are also suspected / expected. Still, it's a clear YoY increase.
