There is something fundamentally wrong with Ohloh.
http://www.ohloh.net/p/fxsl
FXSL is evaluated as a 103 person years project that would cost $5.7M
to develop.

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
