As the Thanksgiving weekend winds down, I've really been putting some dents into the features for 0.6.0 and squashing a bunch of bugs (most of which were only in git, so no problem with 0.5.7). I won't really go much into it, as a lot of the additions lately have been polish. While I work my fingers to the bone though, it's fun sometimes to really measure what you've been doing.
Canto, has had an Ohloh project page (here) for a long time. Longer, if you include NRSS in that history. It's actually a really interesting site, ranking open source developers and cataloging the projects they contribute to and how much they contribute. It also keeps neat metrics about the codebases of a lot of projects too. Firefox is almost 60% Javascript (amazing, but that's how XUL works, if I understand correctly). Canto is 90% Python, 9% C, and 1% shell script.
I encourage any of you (both the lovers and the haters) to check it out, lay down some comments on Canto, write a review, whatever. If you've got your own project, start a page for it, it's free and you can get some nice stats and some credit if your project is awesome.
