>Over time, the project population displays rather consistent linear growth.</p> </li> <li> <p>The key event in the project's lifetime was release 4.3.0 in October 1997, when I declared the code to be out of development and in maintainance mode, and split the fetchmail list.</p> </li> <li> <p>The run-up to 4.3.0 saw the most intensive spate of releases in the project's history (the gap in that run happened when I took a two-week vacation). It was followed by a significant slowdown.</p> </li> <li> <p>After 4.3.0, the developer population remained fairly stable around an average of about 250 participants.</p> </li> <li> <p>Essentially all population growth after 4.3.0 happened on the announce list, among people using fetchmail but not active co-developers.</p> </li> <li> <p>The growth trend in code size looks sublinear, perhaps logarithmic.</p> </li> </ul> <p>The linear growth trend in population is particularly interesting; a priori we might expect geometric or logistic growth, given that the project spreads by word of mouth.</p> <p>It has been suggested that the linear growth rate is the result of a situation in which both number of projects and the population of eligible programmers are rising on trend curves of the same (probably exponential) rate.</p> <hr /> <table width="100%" cellpadding="0" summary="Canned page header"> <tr> <td width="30%" align="right">$Date$</td> </tr> </table> <br clear="left" /> <address>Eric S.
