Hi Andrea

Actually my question was more in the sense "Am I looking at the right
statistics?" because I find it hard to believe that with so much to be done
and so many people participating, there hasn't been a code change in 7
days...

Is it possible to make public the "project's defect density" for Apache
OpenOffice? I'm quite curious since I find AOO more stable than LO.

That makes sense. But there are possibly some real leaks and bugs that
could be attended...

Actually I meant some sort of scan, but since AOO is also scanned by
Coverity then it would be interesting to know how the two compare.
