There is an extensive article to it:
http://people.gnome.org/~michael/blog/ooo-commit-stats-2008.html

By the way, I cannot see much of Michael Meeks recently.
He used to be more active here, he was quite "face" of go-oo to me,
his blogs was often cited as was critical of SUN handling the project.
I expect him to announce Go-oo to become (finally) a fork, to became
LibreOffice.

Absolutely. I was hoping that someone from the active developers here
could point us to something newer.

Such analysis is important now, if Go-oo/LibreOffice developers count
for less then say 20% of OOo new code then I am quite concerned
about the project future.
