Drupal code stats - preliminary
The image at left is a slide from a deck I'm putting together for possible lightning talk at DrupalCon SF. So far there are 11 slides showing the historical complexity of Drupal in terms of some simple metrics, and comparisons with the current release of Joomla!. The point of this is to try to understand the complexity of Drupal, both historically and in comparison with other frameworks, in terms of software metrics.
Comments, questions, pointers, and insights/opinions are very welcome.
BTW - The Joomla metrics (and the Drupal 7x) metrics are probably not quite right, yet - this is a work in progress. I'm working on metrics for Wordpress and a few other platforms also.
UpdateI presented this at DCSF - thanks to everyone who commented and discussed this with me. The attached file is slides as presented Sat Apr 17, 2010.

I agree about the comparisons w/ Joomla!
One reason is likely that I just don't know enough about Joomla! to look at the right stats.
It also is a bit of an apples-vs-oranges comparison, since the various platform all serve different needs or take different approaches. So part of this is about trying to understand what the differences between frameworks are, in a "I don't actually want to look at the documentation or read the code" kind of way :)
