There are 176 forks on GitHub. Even assuming that all 51 contributors have a public fork (most probably do), that's 125 potential contributors unaccounted for. Only 29% of those forks account for an accepted contribution. What portion of the remainder might have been contributors?
I was curious if 29% was "good" in comparison to other projects on GitHub. I also have never written a Ring/Compojure app, so I took 2ish hours and threw a little toy together and seeded it with some "interesting" repositories from GitHub's "explore" feature. Code: https://github.com/brandonbloom/cvf Running: http://boiling-inlet-6842.herokuapp.com/ Feel free to add some repositories to it, but please try not to break it. It's not exactly robust :-) In short, 29% seems pretty reasonable for the number of forks ClojureScript has. Obviously that percentage goes down as the number of forks goes up, so some normalization would need to occur. Of note, technomancy/leiningen scores 49% for 331 forks. That's pretty *awesome*. Good job guys!
