Understood. My thought was on more testing participation in general, not just committers. Either way, I would venture to say that at least 50% of our committers list has never gotten Mustella to fully compile on their computers yet. And that may be from lack of participation to having technical

GitHub has some good tools for this too. For example, this shows that there were six committers to the flex-sdk repo in July and August: https://github.com/apache/flex-sdk/graphs/contributors?from=2013-06-30&to=2013-08-31&type=c --Dasa On Sep 9, 2013, at 5:11 PM, Justin Mclean wrote: > Hi, >

Hi, It's looking at both the git and svn repos but is missing a few git repos eg falcon. I don't think the numbers are 100% correct but do give a fair indication, and I think it fair to say there are less active committers for the Flex SDK project than there were 6 months ago. Justin

I know I was in the middle of my testing suite when the vote expired. I was on vacation for two days and the full Mustella suite takes about 24 hours (if it runs correctly the first time) to run, so I missed it. We still don't make it easy for people to evaluate the non-binary setup which may be
