Community metrics/October 2012

Overview
First Metrics report of the Wikimedia technical community. Work in progress. Feedback welcome!

By now the analysis is restricted to code contributions done to identified projects hosted at Gerrit and GitHub. The legacy MediaWiki extensions hosted in the SVN repository are not counted in this report.

The source of the data provided below is the brand new https://www.ohloh.net/orgs/wikimedia

DISCLAIMER: Ohloh is still polishing the refresh rate, and we might have missed relevant repos. But you probably don't need to send a rocket to Saturn with this data anyway.

Code
