This whole process is nonsense (not disparaging the work done by people here,
it's good to see comparative numbers). My point is, as Daniel says below, it's
all subjective. The value is not in how much effort it takes to pump out code -
hell I've probably written at least a $B of code by that me
Hi Daniel.
I know that David gave a keynote (was there) with the numbers you mention,

Hi.
This report is real interesting reading, it could be real cool to do the
same math for ASF.
Is anybody interested in forming a small work team (a LABS project), and
try to do the calculation for ASF ?
