<h2>Success as an open source project</h2>
<p>
By the end of 2015, the open source project was already going strong
with a community of dozens of developers around the world. By
late 2016, <a href="https://github.com/zulip/zulip/graphs/contributors">more
than 150 people from all over the world</a> have contributed
<a href="https://github.com/zulip/zulip/pulls">almost
1000 pull requests</a> to the software, and the
Zulip project is moving faster than when the
original startup employed 11 full-time engineers.
As of mid-2017, those numbers have ballooned to
almost 4000 pull requests written by over 300
developers.
At first, the Zulip open source project was
maintained with just a bit of lead developer Tim
Abbott's nights and weekends. However, the
community steadily gained new contributors, and
has now grown to be one of the world's largest and
most active open source projects. We highlight a
few milestones below:
