A look at the commit history of source code repositories for Qt and wxWidgets to learn how many developers are contributing to those projects.
I used a program gitinspector that makes statistical reports for GIT repositories.
Only for files with suffixes: py, cpp, h, js, c, java, hpp, glsl, rb, sql.
| Package | Major developers | % of all changes | Lines changed | Other developers | Repository | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chimera 2 | 4 | conrad, gregc, pett, goddard | 100% | 3000-110000 | 0 | RBVI trac / git |
| Tcl | 3 | dgp, dkf, jan.nijtmans | 90% | 6000-16000 | 7 | github mirror of fossil repository. |
| Tk | 1 | jan.nijtmans | 90% | 4000 | 6 | |
| wxWidgets | 1 | Vadim Zeitlin | 75% | 90000 | 9 | github mirror of svn repository. |
| wxPython | 1 | Robin Dunn | 100% | 15000 | 1 | |
| Phoenix | 1 | Robin Dunn | 95% | 140000 | 2 | |
| Qt5 qtbase | 15 | Andrew Knight, Sean Harmer, Gatis Paeglis, Konstantin Ritt, Mark Brand, Giuseppe D'Angelo, John Layt, Thiago Macieira, Laszlo Agocs, Peter Hartmann, Oswald Buddenhagen, BogDan Vatra, Friedemann Kleint, Paul Olav Tvete, Sergio Ahumad | 80% | 14000-140000 | 294 | gitorious repository |
| Qt5 qtdeclarative | 7 | Lars Knoll, Simon Hausmann, Jedrzej Nowacki, Alan Alpert, Erik Verbruggen, Gunnar Sletta, Shawn Rutledge | 90% | 13000-400000 | 127 | |
Major developers: Those that made either 50% of line changes, or changed more than 10000 lines of code.
% of all changes: Percentage of line changes made by major developers.
Line edits: Number of lines changed per developer.
Other developers: Number of other developer who committed code since 2013.
Did not analyze about 30 other GIT repositories for other parts of Qt (webkit, svg, imageformats, ...).
Everything Hydra currently uses is in qtbase (QtCore QtGui QtOpenGL QtPrintSupport QtWidgets libraries).
The qtdeclarative package contains QML
and Qt Quick for describing GUI layouts separate from
the non-GUI code. We currently don't use it but Greg Couch has looked at it.
From Amazon advanced searching wxPython in title or wxWidgets in title.

36 published Qt books listed on the Qt project web site in many languages.
From Amazon advanced searching Qt in title. I got too bored making this list so I gave up, but probably got 80% of the books.
