If you want it to be closer to the truth, it should look like:

Ion Vasilief: more then 90%
Knut Franke: about 8%

Of course, I don't suppose you'll modify your web page in order to reflect the reality...

What algorithm did you use for your calculation of the percentages? I think you
are pretty accurate about Knut contributing 8% of the code. Here is my
calculation:
Developer/number of commits/percentage since SVN repos creation:
ion_vasilief/279/44.78%
thzs/223/35.79%
knut/88/14.13%
kargo/21/3.37%
rogerg/11/1.77%
gudjon/1/0.16%
Of course that does not include your work from 2004 to May 2006. The time
you have been working on QtiPlot before Knut and I joined and the SVN repository was
created is about twice the time the SVN repos has been in existence now.
So 3x279 commits should be a good estimate for your work. That yields:
ion_vasilief/837/70,9%
thzs/223/18,9%
knut/88/7,5%
Anyway, we are not planing to put any developer statistics on the web
page. But if you post your algorithm, everyone can
calculate it for himself.
Best regards,
Tilman

Your efforts are highly regarded by the users. You have created a very competent product for the community to use. Thanks!
However, I do have a differ with your policy of "annual maintenance contracts" for Qtiplot. Your definition of open source, while may be legally correct (I don't know though), reminds me of Bill Clinton's definition of "it".

...but however you say, I rephrase your message: "I don't like your methods, Ion, they might not even be legal"! So you thank me first and in the next phrase you tell me that I'm maybe not honest! I see a "small" contradiction here!
Now, let's put it differently: you don't like my policy about binaries, however you're using my code/work. Isn't tthat a nice proof that my policy works for all users?
You might say that you're using SciDavis, not QtiPlot! Well, judging from last changes to the SciDavis SVN repository, SciDavis still makes good use of my improvements and bug fixes in the QtiPlot code...
Do you think that, if I wouldn't earn a little bit of money from my work on QtiPlot, I would be motivated to work hundreds of hours on it? Would you go to your office 8 hours a day without a salary in exchange?
I sincerely doubt that a developer working only from time to time, for pleasure, would have created a QtiPlot equivalent software in the same amount of time as me. Just see how "fast" SciDavis advances...
