listing of Rails contributors

[Xavier Noria]

I wrote this script to get a listing of Rails contributors for a talk
(one slide or two with totals, some chart, etc.):

http://pastie.org/301285

First of all I'd like to say there are practically 1000 people there,
that's just amazing guys!!!! In my view that says a lot about the way
the project deals with contributions.

The listing is not exact due to the svn days, but I've spent some time
scanning the output to try to identify the same person under different
names, nicks, etc. to get the counters as right as possible. There's a
hash table at the top of the script (emails hidden but complete in the
original).

Please, if you see there's a missing mapping for your name in the
listing below just drop me a line!

I've contributed in the past but do not see my name. It has been quite
some time though.

Sincerely,

[Xavier Noria]

Oh shit there's a typo in Pratik's name in the hash, it's corrected now, sorry!

[Xavier Noria]

2nd version.

Counters have changed and grand total now is ~1400 people!

http://pastie.org/301335

Awesome!

Reason is Pratik recalled in svn some attributions were done in the
changelog instead of the commit message. svn authors extraction is
done now this way:

1. First extract authors from commit message
2. (new in v2) If empty, check changelogs via `git show id`
3. If empty, author is the committer

The revised script is here:

http://pastie.org/301336

Some mappings were added as well with the help of Pratik and Mike Gunderloy.

[Tarmo Tänav]

They are likely the same person:
56 Tobias Luetke
47 Tobias Lütke

[Josh Susser]

This is pretty cool to see, but I think it's going to be nigh
impossible to get anything like an accurate list. Even since the move
to github, some core members have been doing commits that don't
include attribution to the original author of the patch (hi, David!),
and even when attribution is made, there's no way to give credit to
all the people who contributed to the patch who weren't the author of
the ticket or the git .diff file. I also see a lot of unmatched
duplicates in your list - look at the two spellings of Tobi's name on
lines 17 and 18 in your list and Kevin Clark on lines 33 and 86, for
examples. And I know my name shows up in the changelog several
different ways too, so who knows.

Anyhoo, I don't know exactly how you plan to use this data, so that
might all be fine for your purposes. But either way I think it's
great to see even a rough number of the people who've done so much for
Rails.

Generally quite a few people are there under various aliases, so I've
got numbers against Frederick Cheung, Fred Cheung, frederick.cheung,
the same holds for stefan kaes, court3nay and a few others.

Awesome stuff though, great to see so many people on that list!

Yeah I saw a few of them and put them in the hash.

Agreed.

Indeed my goal is just to be able to have a slide that says

~1400 contributors

and do some rough chart. That's in the context of a section of my
keynote where I talk about the project.

I tried to cope with a few things you could deal with to try to get a
figure close enough with some reasonable heuristics, but of course
there's no way you can get an accurate listing.

[Emilio Tagua]

 

The complete list may never be perfect but we can see that there are more than 1400 contributors to Rails, that is something pretty awesome.

Thanks for sharing this with us Xavier,

Cheers

[Xavier Noria]

3rd version. Same algorithm but I've got several mappings off-list:

http://pastie.org/301432

Yeah, looks like ~1400 is a reasonable figure.

[Michael Koziarski]

Really interesting stats, given the ever-present meme of 'it's
impossible to get patches into rails' this is a nice counter-example.
What would be really interesting would be graphs over time, etc etc.
But this is a really cool little dataset :)

nik.wakelin == Nik Wakelin

I'd suggest removing all non-alphabetic characters from all strings,
converting to lowercase and then using levenshtein distance or
something like that to see if there are more similiar names.

Yep, my name is there in four different places. I would assume the
amount of duplicates is vastly larger in the lower part of the list so
~1400 might or might not be in the ballpark. An interesting list,
anyways.

Added, thanks Jordi!

The list has now complete email addresses to easy searches:

http://gist.github.com/20721

This is the current script with guessable addresses in the mapping as well:

http://pastie.org/304092

At this moment it has +70 entries and we're close to a grand total of
1350 people.

[Xavier Noria]

Scores are higher in general now.

When the author of a svn commit is not seen in the commit message the
script checks changelog entries in git show. A sanity #uniq was
applied there. But it turns out some commits like

752721c0729bd8230d9cd0688694c36f71db03f0

or

f18356edb728522fcd3b6a00f11b29fd3bff0577

are big and have lots of changelog items, so that #uniq was indeed
covering some contributions.

The current listing is

http://gist.github.com/20721

and there are ~1340 people right now.

The initial lists piped the output of the script to pbcopy + ⌘V and

Seems like this work is somewhat duplicating what the WWR hackfest
already did, no?

When are that going to be working again, anyway? :D

The motivation for this effort is to be able to present a slide with a
figure that I can show with confidence (I am preparing a keynote that
has a section with a few metrics about the project). The current
approximation is 1300 people. I can't thank enough all the people that
have contributed equivalences!

As for the script that computed the hackfests in WWR I don't really
think it had any mapping like this. I remember in order to increase
your score you had to appear in the message/changelog in a certain
way, your user in Trac or something like that.

Thank you Luca, it's up.

[Xavier Noria]

Just wanted to thank all the people helping in this effort, we got
close to 1300 and that was the figure I presented.

I plan to mantain that script + listing in some way or another,
perhaps a page somewhere. If you see any other mapping please send it
to me!

I gathered more metrics about the project like published books (+60),
commits per quarter, number of plugins (with help from Benjamin
Curtis), etc. Some people asked for the final presentation, it is
here:

http://www.slideshare.net/fxn/revolucion-rails-presentation/

Topic was revolutions and disruptiveness. Slides are mostly
bulletless. The keynote was recorded as well (Spanish), it is the
second item here:

http://isabel.dit.upm.es/component/option,com_docman/task,cat_view/gid,131/Itemid,74/

Due to technical issues with the video system I couldn't use Keynote
and had to present a flat PDF file.

Best regards to all!!!
