Matthieu While I like the idea of this script for my own pleasure, I'm not sure that it encourages the right view of the incubator or any Apache project, so I would not personally like to see those kind of statistics used as part of graduation. Let me give an example. I am a keen participant in Apache Synapse. But I know if you ran your script, I would come out as a low-level committer. But I honestly don't think that would be a fair representation of my participation, commitment, or willingness to devote more time if needed. Paul
