Open source projects on SourceForge
I use a couple of open source programs which are hosted on SourceForge http://www.sf.net ; e.g. KeePass, 7-zip, Zeos, JVCL, Firebird, FlameRobin, XAMP and PDFCreator.
There currently more than 150.000 projects hosted on SourceForge. Shouldn’t I find there more good programs.
Until a few months ago SourceForge showed the number of projects and the top 10 projects by downloads and activity on there entry page. Unfortunately they no longer show this information.
Is there another web page where they show some statistics?
There are a few projects which collect data about open source in general and SourceForge especially, e.g. FLOSSmole, http://ossmole.sourceforge.net
The FLOSSmole extract of project names for June 08 shows 153.843 different project names.
This is a huge number of projects.
How has this number evolved?
How many projects are live?
How many projects are for Linux or Windows or another operating system?
Let’s try to find out some facts about SourceForge.
