Ohloh

"Ohloh is a resource for open source intelligence on thousands of open source projects. Ohloh collects software metrics from a variety of sources including the project's source code and the software development infrastructure used by the project's development team."

"Software development has historically been a veiled process, providing users little visibility into how software is built and supported. The open source movement has pierced the veil to some extent by freeing licensing provisions and opening up access to source code. Nonetheless, deciding which open source software to use is largely guesswork. With Ohloh users can be more rigorous in evaluating open source software and more creative in exploring simpler and cheaper alternatives to proprietary software."

Discussion

There is a TWiki page on Ohloh that I've updated somewhat. Some of the auto analysis needs fixing IMO because they seem to think TWiki is mostly written in JavaScript! I think they are also analysing the TWiki plugins SVN directories, which probably also accounts for the varied licenses - though any plugins that aren't GPL compatibly licensed can't actually be used with TWiki anyway, I'd say.
