History: Open Hub
Preview of version: 22
Here are the stats: https://www.openhub.net/p/tikiwiki
About the stats:
- 2023-05 saw a surge of commits thanks to Using GlitchTip as part of the Tiki development process with hundreds of small commits to add support for PHP8 and remove (mostly harmless) error messages.
- In 2020-06, we see a steep reduction of monthly contributors. This is of course caused by Covid-19. In October 2021, the situation is back to normal.
- In 2019, the Tiki community switched over from SVN to Git, and this leads to more work/output per commit, because multiple commits are squashed into one. So the real activity level is much higher than it looks on the chart.
- 2018-09 and 2018-10 were busy with preparation of Tiki19, mainly the upgrade to Bootstrap 4.
- 2017-11 to 2018-02: The number of contributors and commits drops to nearly 0, which doesn't fit the trend. It also doesn't seem logical given that in 2008-08, Tiki 2.0 was released in which "80 people contributed 6894 commits". I (Marc) have a vague recollection that we had an issue with the source control system, perhaps the migration from CVS to SVN, or the issues with branch-1.10.x (which was abandoned as we created a branch for 2.x)

Tiki dependencies
We have a specific entry:

Analysis
- In the 2013-2015 period vs 2017 and after
- The number of commits is very high
- The fluctuations are intense from month to month, which is surprising given it's aggregate data for over 100 projets.
Hypothesis: Many projects used today by Tiki were born
