Just for the record: neither ohloh.net nor commit-digest provide reliable information. The information by commit-digest is probably more reliable given that it is integrated in KDE's infrastructure, nevertheless it shows weaknesses. For example in the latest issue there is the following commit attributed to me: http://www.commit-digest.org/issues/...ecbeb27265785/ (yes it got pushed by me) but if one goes to http://commits.kde.org/kde-workspace...fecbeb27265785 one sees that it's not from me. Also I had seen often cases where commits done by me ended up in the wrong week (push vs. commit). E.g. commits are listed for a week where they are not yet in a public repository. This can only happen in cases when commit-digest is a few weeks behind, but I have a few branches with ~100 commits from half a year ago which will be pushed soon. If it goes for the commit date those will never get reported.

Oh yes the mumbers have changed since then. Add one developer, so KDE hits 166 instead of 165. An increase of 0.6%
I couldn't find December for gnome on Ohloh.net so this is November 2013.
KDE commits 4438, contributors 186
GNOME commits 3411, contributors 175
KDE isn't dying and neither are GNOME.

And Martin please stop lying. KDElibs had commits and development for December. And I hope you and friends were good boys and signed away alot of non-copyleft licensed code to Digia with the kde->Qt code shuffling. Because Qt development is slowing down as well.
Did I get this correct?
cheers, tomme

The number rised from 139 to 157, see above graph or kde-digest.
this however says nothing - only statistics and the long time trend can give us information - and the trend is quite stable as seen in the graph... but you will neglect that and will again post the oloh-numbers which are less reliable, as YOU confirmed for GNOME and as MGr?sslin confirmed for KDELast edited by tomtomme; 02 January 2014, 11:17 AM.

It only proves that the source isn't reliable, but even if it was reliable it still wouldn't prove anything unless there's no more commits at all.
Why do you hate qt and kde so much? Did your gf dump you for a qt/kde developer?

git rev-list --count HEAD@{1\ month\ ago}.. and git rev-list --count HEAD@{2\ month\ ago}..HEAD@{1\ month\ ago}
both in an up to date checkout of frameworks branch. It's not 100 % correct as we have already the second of January. But it should be good enough to show that there is way less activity for exactly the reason I presented.

Hell, Debian even made Xfce the default UI for their next release.

It's been almost two decades of killing KDE, and now KDE is about to release the most advanced desktop ever.
I think GNOME is doing a great job, and should look for more challenging goals. I'd like to see the following projects:
GNOME kills the Greek economy
GNOME kills sustainable agriculture
GNOME kills renewable energy
GNOME kills anti-HIV vaccine....
KDE is thankful for all the help, but there are other deserving projects which need help, and there is no better way for a project to prosper than to have GNOME try to kill it. We could solve all the world's problems in a blink of an eye, if only GNOME concentrated on killing other worthwhile projects..... Think of the possibilities!
