Thanks guys! The early data is important to me, so I'll start tracking based upon your suggestions. As far as economic models not accounting for the "incentive of play," you're spot on! While there are some good economists working on the idea that "homo ludens" or man at play is an important driving force on our lives (duh!), it is largely ignored. Hence my interest. Thanks again for your support!

Hello, I'm a student of economics conducting research on the innovation. Current economics models tend to reduce all of innovation as a function of the pursuit of monetary gain. What I've seen in the open source community suggests otherwise. I just discovered this project today and would like to enlist your help in gathering data on the levels of involvement by the OS community in this project. Here are some of my first questions on the matter: 1) Where might I find data on the # of code downloads / uploads? 2) Are there statistics available to quantify progress made to project since WFG opened it up? These are just my first thoughts. I understand many of you busy with the content of the game, but figured I would consult the experts. Thank you!
