  1. title: Truck-Factor

  4. <p>We calculate the Truck Factor for 133 popular GitHub applications, in six languages: JavaScript (22 systems), Python (22 systems), Ruby (33 systems) , C/C++ (18 systems), Java (21 systems), and PHP (17 systems). We also used <a href="https://github.com/github/linguist">github/linguist</a> to discard non-source code files (e.g., documentation) and also third-party files.</p>
  5. <p>To calculate the truck factor, we use a greedy heuristic: we consecutively remove the author with more authored files in a system, until more than 50% of the system's files are orphans (i.e., without author). We are considering that a system is in trouble if more than 50% of its files are orphans.</p>
