Let’s all chat on TSS thread

We hosted during the last Foss Bridge a Flex training. Grégory Sebert from Bull presented during 3 days how to work with flex and eXo and talked about Liveroom (2 products on 3 of this suite are using Flex).

Here the list of the most important features and improvements of the eXo JCR 1.9:

• Lucene 2.2 based search engine with advanced indexing configuration, synonym and highlights support, improved fuzzy search, pluggable spell checker mechanism
• Advanced replication service with new synchronization subsystem improving cluster scalability
• JCR Resource service providing flexible way for node representation as well as using jcr:// URL scheme
• Support for REST services (based on JSR 311) on Groovy script
• Indexer has new mechanism for I/O errors catching and index storage restoring after system failures
• XML Import/Export improvements including dedicated logic for mix:versionable nodes and collisions logic refactoring
• JCR comes with new cache implementation, the cache has lightweight removal logic, supports blocked and unblocked read modes

Ohloh is a cool tool that analysis Open Source projects code.

Many information is available such as the number of contributors over the last twelve months:

“Over the past twelve months, 90 developers contributed new code to eXo Platform.

This is one of the largest open-source teams in the world, and is in the top 2% of all project teams on Ohloh.

For this measurement, Ohloh considered only recent changes to the code. Over the entire history of the project, 92 developers have contributed.”

This is close to the Firefox size team and of course outperforms the competition:

“Over the past twelve months, 97 developers contributed new code to Mozilla Firefox. ”

The next graph shows the number of contributors to the projects over the last years, as you can see, Liferay Committers + Alfresco committers < eXo committers (note that Liferay + Alfresco offering is included in eXo stack)

This trend is also confirmed by the number of commits made over the last years for each projects.

Several other information are available like the project cost:

In other words, if you would have to produce the same amount of work (and that does not valuate the innovation here) you would have to spend 12M$…in the US

or the languages used,

A nice article in French about SpagoBI deployed into the WebOS, the picture that shows reports and map analysis is really nice!
