Where did you get the impression that this is the product of PhD students?
- lvh 5y agoNot OP, but the majority of people involved have .edu homepages (stints in industry, still research emphasis) and many of the alums appear to have become alums contemporaneously with the end of their academic career, most of them via Stony Brook, and finally there are a bunch of academic papers with authors clearly acting in their academic capacity (and typically prior to their stints in industry), so, IDK, seems like a reasonable assertion that this has a strong academic emphasis and a lot of the work was done by academic students. Whether it's actually unreliable is a different question, but it seems pretty reasonable to suggest that it's a research project and not a production filesystem.
- knl 5y agoThe sibling comment described it well. In addition, the majority of github commits are done by the people that are listed in the alumni section, while they where PhD students. There aren’t many commits from people listed as current members, and last significant commits are from the last year.
