Daniel told me some days ago that he registered HeidiSQL at “Ohloh” as a new project. Ohloh is a service which analyses open-source-projects and throws statistics about
- version-control-history
- activeness of its developpers
- amount of code-lines
- possible license conflicts
- etc.
One of the most astonishing thing is the box at the upper right, where they estimate how much it would cost to hire a team to write the entire project from scratch. HeidiSQL would have cost about 3 million US$ and 52 person years :) It is obvious that Ohloh counts some large libraries like ZeosDBO and SynEdit to our own code, although it shouldn’t do so, but there seems to be no possibility of exclude certain directories from the project.
