More ASF graphs
Some people were looking for historical data, so here's some other years for your perusal. As you can see, the amount of top-level projects has drastically increased over the past years. Also, note the massive growth of the Jakarta project. Looking at the community weight of this Java elephant, the ratios really could be better, and more proactively tuned. Already, one might question whether Jakarta needs Apache or vice-versa.Contrasting 2003 with the early years, it seems however like the newer top-level projects typically start with a slightly better member/committer/community-size balance. Jakarta and XML attracted a huge community right from the beginning, but were less successful in graduating people from committer to member - by design? The process of correcting this balance for these two projects seems to be underway, although slowly.
