Project Cost questions

Hi,

I think it would be nice if you could provide more information on how you calculate the project's cost, how many LOCs are one person year, etc.

If i use david wheelers sloccount, the calculated cost is more than twice as high as the ohloh cost (www.dwheeler.com/sloccount/). So i guess the cost depends heavily on the parameters which you use...

Thanks!
Chris

I totally agree, and this has been on our to-do list forever, so I went ahead and fixed it.

I added a link to our wiki article on COCOMO, which I hope will help answer your questsions. I'll be reviewing and improving the article -- let me know if you have some feedback.

Thanks,
Robin
