Changes

When we set out to create the [https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/hydra/The+Hydra+Project Hydra framework ] in 2009, we knew that building a strong developer community would be as important as releasing quality code. By August 2010 when we released the Beta version of [http://wiki.duraspace.org/display/hydra/Hydrangea Hydrangea] (the Hydra reference implementation) Ohloh already rated our committers as "one of the largest open-source teams in the world" and placed it "in the top 2% of all project teams on Ohloh." [see [http://www.ohloh.net/p/hydrangea/factoids/3944567 ohloh.com]] In the 3 months following that release, the number of committers roughly doubled and the number of spinoff projects quadrupled. This early success is the product of a concerted, collaborative effort that has incorporated input from many participants and advisors.
