I rendered a quick animation of the reSIProcate project’s development history using the wonderful ‘gource‘ tool. You can see it here if you like, in 720p/H.264. I love the flurries of activity that pop up over time. Props to Adam H for pointing me at this tool.

More reSIProcate Stats.
I’ve compiled a snapshot of how reSIProcate [Everybody's favorite SIP stack] code size is split between object files, text and data segments. You can see more about it on the reSIProcate wiki.
