Where did you read the word BUZZ? Buzz is usually used to express that a lot of noise is made around something.

trunk is the latest and greatest of something in development.
branch (I guess you didn't mean brunch) is a, well, development-branch of something else. For example, in KDE we have a branch for KDE 3.5.x and KDE 3.4.x while KDE4 is developed in trunk.

Hi,
"Buzz" is the name I give to a rating that I generate from several components, including commit activity, mentions on webpages, and short-term news and discussion (eg. blogs). These are added together to produce the score. Of course, the scores are not completely scientific, and are meant as a way to measure "popularity" relative to the other calculated scores.

Thanks,
Danny

p.s. Glad to hear that you enjoy reading the digest. :)
