I thought it was fun, even though I don't believe the cost estimate.
You can also get some information from
http://www.ohloh.net/p/maxima/analyses/latest. I didn't know there was
some visual asic code and assembly code in maxima.
It seems to me that ohloh used to include a cost estimate but perhaps my
memory is failing.
