Wow! We didn't know about these security vulnerability reports. It's perfect for Ohloh and definitely belongs on our reports. We will add this feature very soon. I can't thank you enough for this ... [More] feature suggestion. Feel free to send me email directly at '[email protected]' and I'll send you one of our awesome, highly-coveted Ohloh T-Shirts (as seen at OSCON 2006 in Portland). Thanks again! -jay [Less]

my apologies - that was quite rude ;-). [email protected] -jay

hi slam, we were running into a problem with your enlistment: it included all the modules as well as every branch and tag for every module (yikes!). It was insanely big. So we just enlisted it into ... [More] all the trunks for you instead. The analysis should be done in an hour or so. -jay [Less]

Greetings viyyer, From reading the trac instructions, i found what your problem was: it required a password ('cvs'). I went ahead and added it for you. It's a sizeable project so it will probably ... [More] take a few hours to complete the analysis. Let me know if you have any more questions! [Less]

Hi Tobu! Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm a little confused about what the actual opportunity is. Sharing data between sites is tricky (merging conflicts is practically impossible to do ... [More] automatically). I suppose we could scrape (manually or otherwise) their directory to increase our project count, but we're practically at 5k already, so it doesn't seem that valuable to me. Let me know if you have something more in mind. Thanks again, -jay [Less]

Hi pixelbeat, Thanks so much for your feedback - you're helping us improve. I added some logic to do a better detect script files. I re-analyzed fslint and now come up with 2,260 physical LOCs. While ... [More] this is better than our previous number (...53? that was ridiculous!), it's nowhere near your estimate of 14,481. Could you please educate me about how you came up with that number? Thanks again! [Less]

Thanks dolmen! the duplicate (3822) was removed.

Hi Microcline, Great question. I hope to write an article on this very topic soon. The short answer is that Ohloh was created to provide transparency into the software development process behind Open ... [More] Source Software. This grew out of a consistent need I found myself having when I had to evaluate which piece of software to use/integrate into my own applications. I often found myself with basic questions like: How well maintained is this project? How many developers are contributing, how often, how much, etc.... How big of a project is this? Some smaller libraries are sometimes more of a pain to integrate than they are to just write yourself. Which of these competing projects should I choose? By looking at the amount of activity in competing projects, one can sometimes see that a smaller project has a much stronger curve/trajectory than established or larger projects. What languages is this written in? Using Open Source Software today usually means getting your hands dirty to some extent. When choosing a library/application to integrate, it's pretty critical to ensure that you'll be able to at least understand some basics behind it before moving forward. I don't know python that well so I tend to choose alternatives in other languages sometimes. What's the licensing status of a project? When you integrate OSS into your app, you assume some legal liabilities associated with that software. Even if the software claims to be MIT or BSD license, some codebases contain snippets of other licenses -- which can be a red flag. There's some more questions that Ohloh helps answer, but at this point I figure I'll save em for the article ;-). Hope this helps, -jay [Less]

Hi Mark, I noticed you have .adb files and .ada in that module. Our parser only recognizes .ada files for now, although this should be easy to fix. I'll take a look tomorrow to see why it's not resulting in any ada code.

Hi CyberBob2, Welcome to ohloh! We're essentially a wiki: anyone can edit. I went ahead and changed the enlistments to the svn enlistments shareaza now uses. The download is at 5%... looks like it ... [More] will take a few hours. Thanks for the notice. -jay [Less]
