We’ve been debating whether we might expect an increase in volunteer contributions to Chandler once we ship 0.6 with potentially usable calendaring, or perhaps once we do 0.7 which is likely to allow more solid parcel development as well improving calendaring. We threw around some examples, then I thought it might be interesting to actually get a longer list of examples and data about them — an ad-hoc survey of when volunteers make significant contributions to Open Source software.

The survey has only two questions, one for OS project maintainers and one for OS project volunteers, but there was a fair bit of commentary from the people I pinged so far, so I put it into a Wiki page. If you’d like to add more projects or volunteer data, add your own section and lines to the appropriate tables, just by editing the Wiki page.

I probably won’t say much about the results because it isn’t very scientific but I thought people might enjoy.
