Hi all,
Having just happened across these COCOMO metrics*** on Ohloh for Saxon
and XQilla
XSLT/XQuery/XPath products/projects, I thought the list might be
interested in the
"bean count" estimates assuming a developer salary of $55000 p.a. to
write these projects
from scratch.
*** http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COCOMO
For Saxon (and presumably this just the Open Source Non-SA codebase)
http://www.ohloh.net/p/saxon
50 Person Years $ 2,743,467
And for XQilla
http://www.ohloh.net/p/xqilla
35 Person Years $ 1,899,031
Obviously it's anyone's guess if there's more than zero significant
digits in the
$ values let alone 7 digits! Actually I stumbled across the XQilla page
first and,
given the friendly URL, took a stab at seeing if Saxon was there too.
And it was!
Any comments, people?
Cheers,
Justin Johansson
