Very well-commented source code

BadKid Core Library is written mostly in C#.
Across all C# projects on Ohloh, 21% of all source code lines are comments. For BadKid Core Library, this figure is 37%.
This very impressive number of comments puts BadKid Core Library among the top 10% of all C# projects on Ohloh.
A high number of comments might indicate that the code is well-documented and organized, and could be a sign of a helpful and disciplined development team.

Young, but established codebase

The first lines of source code were added to BadKid Core Library in May, 2011. If this young project has had recent activity, then it likely has passed its critical early start-up period, and has become established. The project still may be rapidly changing, innovative and exciting, and finding its focus.
As this project matures, a longer source control history in conjunction with recent activity might indicate that the project has enough merit to hold contributors interest for a long time. It might indicate a mature and relatively bug-free code base, and can be a sign of an organized, dedicated development team.
Note: The source code for BadKid Core Library might actually be older than the source control history can reveal. Many new projects begin by incorporating a large amount of source code from existing, older projects. You might be able to tell whether this is the case by looking for a rapid rise in the amount of code early in the project's history.

They actually got the size of the team wrong as it's just me but that's awesome.
