Ohloh's Open Source Goods
,----[ Quote ]
| The Ohloh site also estimates what it would cost to develop a
| project.
|
| For example, for Mozilla Firefox, Ohloh has calculated that there are
| 364,376 lines of code. According to Ohloh, that would take 95 "persony
| ears" of effort to complete. At an average salary of $55,000 per year
| per developer that translates into a project cost for Firefox of
| nearly $5.3 million.
