FOSS field trip

Part 1, Sourceforge

I looked at the games tab. There are 25247 projects in 15 different languages. The most popular ones are listed at the top of the page.

For a specific project I examined FreeCiv. It let's you play a Civilization-like game. It's mostly written in C. The project appears very active and had its last release in February. It was unclear how to tell the number or type of committers.

Part 2, OpenHub

OpenMRS is primarily in Java. It has 3.7m lines of code. The second most used language is Javascript. Of the top three languages, Java has the most comments at 32%. There are about 25 commits/month and 10 contributors/month. The top contributors have been with the project for more than 5 years, 5 years, and 2 years.
