Hi Thibault,

For opensplice, I looked at https://github.com/PrismTech/opensplice/network which makes it clear that most of the work is happening in branches maintained by osrf . By comparison, the mainline has had a handful of commits in 2015 and another handful in 2014. Here: https://github.com/PrismTech/opensplice/graphs/commit-activity Conclusion is that the project is stagnant.

Quoting Dirk from the ros-sig-ng-ros thread about opensplice:

"The quoted statistics are meaningless since PrismTech only pushes their released code into that GitHub repository.

Their development does not happen in a public repository.

While that is not a great thing I don't think the statistics are of any relevance - it is similar to a statistic of a GBP / release repository in ROS 1."

As he said, the project is not stagnant; its development just does not happen in a public repository.
