0.01 % of Xorg

Thursday, June 12. 2008, 13:05
Phoronix has just published an article about the development of xorg and they have a statistics of contributors from Distributions.

I'm listed there on the Gentoo part with 0.01 % contributions to Xorg. Yay!

From the article:
"It's also important to note that since the modularization of X.Org, the X server isn't the only key piece of the windowing system. Of critical importance to X.Org is also the input and video drivers, X libraries, utilities, and Mesa. None of the work from any of these developers should be discounted and they all play an important role. For this article though, we only analyzed the server git tree."

Can this explain the low percentage?

No, I think this wouldn't change anything.

I'm not really an xorg contributor and those 0.01 % consist of trivial compile fixes and things like that.

isn't Jeremy Huddleston a Gentoo developer as well?
