Description

statistics.html [1] looks very nice, but there is no info on where the data is sourced.

For example:

• language breakdown - is that derived from DOAP files or some other measure?
• codebase lines of code - what is the codebase? does it include Git and SVN, and if code migrated does it include both repos? Does it include branches/tags?
• repositories - does that include github and gitbox? what about SVN repos? The ASF uses a shared SVN source repo, is that broken down by project? What about the dist repo?

• Mirror download activity : how is that measured?
