Remember, not all contributors are committers. It might be worth also looking at names in the SVN commit memo for "Patch by:" Also, watch out for how branch -> trunk integration is tracked. For example, if a developer does months of work in a branch and then integrates it into the trunk, how is that recorded in your script? I saw one analysis of our commits that took months of work on the Sidepanel and called it all a single commit when it was integrated! -Rob > Rgds > Jan I. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
