"Many commits without description and many cosmetic changes." Hey now, my commits are coming through with no message because of a bug in NetBeans. It's got nothing to do with the stats.
Some of those 'cosmetic' changes like checkstyle issues are LONG overdue. -- dIon Gillard, Multitask Consulting Work: http://www.multitask.com.au Developers: http://adslgateway.multitask.com.au/developers "Nicola Ken Barozzi" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 05/13/02 10:00 PM Please respond to "Jakarta General List" To: "Jakarta General List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> cc: Subject: Re: Project Activity From: "Peter Donald" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> On Mon, 13 May 2002 20:17, Danny Angus wrote: > > Sometimes lists are where the activity is, commits alone don't credit the > > essential design and planning effort put in by users commiters and > > non-commiters that shapes the product and maps its progress. > > Agreed - even worse.

Many commits without description and many cosmetic changes. Measuring how well a project is doing with these stats is nonsense. There is no semantics in numbers. Say you are having tons of letters from angry users that claim that your product sucks. Is the number of posts still a health indicator? Maybe of the mailing list software ;-) -- Nicola Ken Barozzi [EMAIL PROTECTED] - verba volant, scripta manent - (discussions get forgotten, just code remains) --------------------------------------------------------------------- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
