  I was working on identifying and removing dead code in the Miro tree
  today when I decided to do some stats on the Miro codebase over the
  last bunch of versions.

  There are a couple of interesting things here.  First is that we
  switched to libtorrent in Miro 1.1.  We had libtorrent code in the
  tarball in Miro 1.1 and removed it in Miro 3.0--that's the bulk of
  the cpp code.
</p>
<p>
  Second, we did a ui overhaul for Miro 2.0.  In doing that, we
  switched all three platforms to using gettext and thus only had to
  have one set of translations.  We also ditched a bunch of binary
  data.  That reduced the tarball size significantly.
</p>
<p>
  Third, the number of lines of Python code has been going steadily up
  since Miro 1.1.  This is the number I'm most concerned with.  In
  adding more Python code version after version after version, we're
  adding more complexity and a larger domain of things to test.  This
  adds to the maintenance work we have to do between versions, too.
</p>
<p>
  We sure could use some help coding, fixing, maintaining, testing,
  documenting and translating.
