An interesting question. I work on a project which requires a Web
site on top of a fairly involved object model representing the
application domain, developed in an XP-influenced style.
Quixote 3802 lines of code
Oscar 4638
Web UI 17714 (this includes Python and PTL code, so as a result
it's a bit inflated)
Domain model 34831
That leaves out some things such as the Palm application and the
remote microscope code, and the first 2 prototypes that have since
been thrown away. The discarded prototypes amount to 1400 lines of
Python, and (15958 lines of Python + 20117 lines of Java).
