I chased a couple things I use and am familiar with -- info seems
consistent with my experience.  I see information overload coming...

First impression with "popularity" measure : interesting.
  Firefox is twice as popular as linux kernal
  Subversion [PUT stuff in] is more popular than Apache [PRESENT stuff]
  LAMP tools are 3 of the top 5

<extreme trivia>
The name of this site [ohloh] pronounces(?) [O'-la] like the Brazilian
Portuguese verb [ohlar] that translates like English "look around".
Hmmm.</extreme trivia>

Thanks again for adding to my "tool kit".

Warmest regards from here,
George
