You might want to also pay attention to the fact that the committer is not
necessarily the author, and that all commits don't qualify as development.

Jim and myself might appear to write over half the code, but in fact we have
handled much of the drudgery of releases and major refactorings such as updating
copyright dates, correcting style errors, and these appear to be 'work', but 
they
don't entirely represent development.  Similarly, many of us commit (with svn 
log
notes) contributions from non-committers, submitted to the bug tracking system
or the mailing lists.

In other words, those statistics are not useful as empirical data unless you
plan to distinguish and classify all of the specific commits.  All of the
detailed Subversion history is out there for you to harvest, if it is useful
to your study.

Should be a non-issue; these were imported with history from CVS, so
to SVN such details should be preserved (only back to 1.3.0 - older CVS
repos were not converted).  So, for example, all the work on 1.2 will
be missing altogether.

Now, yes.

I addition to the links Eric and Rüdiger have posted the following
might be helpful...

Back in August of this year t...@sharanet.org ( Tomislav Nakic-A)
posted a news item to this development list about a new 'tool' 
that can be used to analyze the Apache Subversion repository. 
AFAIK it would be able to be tell you exactly what you seek to 
know for any timeframe since Subversion was first used for 
Apache development.

For timeframes prior to the first use of Subversion by apache.org
you will need to find a 'wayback' machine that contains the 
original *Nix CVS development activity.

See the following message thread from August...

Hello everyone,

I am the author of the PanBI <http://www.PanBI.org> open source business
intelligence project. PanBI provides data  extraction, transformation
and loading logic as well as data warehouse schemas for a number of
systems and Subversion - used by Apache - is one of the systems supported.

I have designed a dedicated Subversion data warehouse and loading logic
so that Subversion repository data can be analyzed using OLAP tools. To
demonstrate the functionality, I have made a short screencast
<http://panbi.sourceforge.net/systems/subversion/olap.html> (7 minutes)
using none other than the Apache web server's code repository as the one
under analysis.

I hope that helps.

Dear Kevin,

So, I want to know who are developers that more contributed with the Apache 
project in period:

- Release 1.3 (1997 and 1998)

- Release 2.0 (1999 and 2000)

- 2001 and 2002

- 2003 - 2005.

Did you understand me?

If you would get someone in your department who knows the English
language a little better to rewrite the request you might get a little
more traction.

I THINK I can 'decipher' what the heck you are asking but not 
well enough to risk a response.

Now there's a best-seller. It would be somewhere between a

Dear Developers,

We are studying behavior and characteristic about Open Source Software (OSS) 
development using by reference “What can OSS mailing lists tell us? A 
preliminary psychometric text analysis of the Apache developer mailing list 
(Hassan , Rigby)” that used the Apache httpd server developer mailing list. 

We need to know are major developer commit in the Project Apache HTTP Server (4 
developers), for to continue our study. 

In period:

Developer A: Top committer in release 1.3 (We guess 1997-1998)

Developer B: Top committer in release 2.0 ("developer B was the top committer 
for 1999 and 2000")

Developer C: developer C was the top committer for 2001 and 2002

Developer D: (We guess 2003 - 2005)

 

Do you help us? Where do We can find this information?
