FWIW, the nice thing they had to say about the project was:



--Large, active development team--

Over the past twelve months, 37 developers	 contributed new code to Racket.

This is one of the largest open-source teams in the world, and is in the top 2% of all project teams on Ohloh.

For this measurement, Ohloh considered only recent changes to the code. Over the entire history of the project, 52 developers have contributed.
