Impressive stuff.

noob question: what's the difference between "Lines" and "LOC" columns?

@radex - Lines would related to any line, be it code or comments etc. LOC will only related to Lines of Code.

@radex LOCs lines that actually have code on them (i.e. not full-line comments or blank lines). "Lines" include all lines

50 models? Very interesting.

I really want to learn how they organize those 50 models. It would be awesome to just have a peek at the file/folder structure of bcx.

In a project of mine "rake stats" gives me just about 35 models and opening the models folder kind of frustrates me.
I'm trying to share code between them with concerns, but that doesn't cut down on the file count in the models folder.

Maybe just put models that share relationships in sub-folders and add those to the Rails autoload path?

@dhh:

May sound like a silly question, but what is the average file count per folder in the new basecamp?
I would also love to see a post on SvN or some suggestions on how you go about structuring a bigger app like that.

@dhh can you post actual output from rake stats?
