I am very new to bitcoin but not so new to open source software.  Would really appreciate if someone could give some estimates as to how many people are these days in working on bitcoin? For other open source projects I think this has been pretty simple to track but not sure about bitcoin?  For example is bitcoin on github or something similar?

Bitcoin Core version 0.11.0 is now available from:

https://bitcoin.org/bin/bitcoin-core-0.11.0/

This is a new major version release, bringing both new features and bug fixes.

Please report bugs using the issue tracker at github:
