Open Source Repository Search

A really interesting new search engine has emerged on the web scene. www.koders.com indexes known open source repositories allow users to search for code (125,112,016 lines of code!) written in any number of lanugages and licences. Also interesting is their aggregate views of projects. They analyze the number of files, lines of code, the number of languages used, and attempt to provide a mechanism for estimating what the cost was to develop the project. Very interesting. Compare the Apache HTTP-D-2.0 project with XML-COCOON2 and MONO. It would be fasinating to view comparions like these for academia's many open source initatives.
