(Review) Drupal vs. Joomla By Whatwoulddrupaldo.org

Tutorial : Drupal vs. Joomla By Whatwoulddrupaldo.org

It analyzes the codebase and contributions for a project and spits out some interesting data. A particularly charming feature is that it estimates the number of collective man hours that have gone into a given project, and tallies what it might cost to have such a project developed.

After clicking around a bit, I couldn't help but wonder how Drupal stacked up against that other popular CMS, Joomla(!). All in good fun of course, and the ohloh data should be read with your trusty salt lick on hand.

metric	Drupal	Joomla
Lines of Code	371,314	135,623
Time to Code	98 Man Years	34 Man Years
Cost to Code	$5,364,474	$1,866,909
Developers	527	24

Cost to Code is based on an average salary of $55,000 a year. "Man Years" might better be represented as "Person Years" or "Coder Years" in deference to Webchick ;)
