Vignatti: X Census (for 1.9)

Tiago Vignatti has put together a report on the development X.org 1.9. In the tradition of the kernel statistics reported on LWN, and the more recent GNOME census, he ranks developers and employers based on the number of changes made to various pieces of the X.org tree during the development of 1.9 (April 2 to August 20). The statistics are broken up along functional lines into several categories: X implementation, X input drivers, user space video drivers, Pixman, X11 conformance testing, and X documentation. "Of course lines of code and changeset are far from being a good metric to see actually how the development happened. But still, it does represents something."
