Feedback Forum : Bad projects

First, let's speak of proprietary or closed-source instead of commercial, since as Lennart pointed out, there is free software that has commercial success, like OTRS, several SQL packages, Linux ... [More] distributions, etc. I would not mind if proprietary software can be registered without source code analysis (haha g), but you still have reviews, rankings, users, contributors... Why this can be useful? It can be useful to determine fields in the free software world where proprietary software is still the better alternative; where free software has to improve. For example some developers use VMware for some weird-OS hacking, though there is qemu and the like. Ohloh could help to find out why. Of course, closed-source contributors should not get a better KudoRank because they're involved in some popular closed-source tool development. So imho it can have some advantages to be able to add proprietary software, but there have to be some limitations. Btw, Andre, I don't think that Ohloh can be used as a free advertisement platform, because there can always be users that may rank a project down or write bad reviews. Regards. [Less]

Suggestions for Ohloh 2.0 : Track contributions from non-committers

Hm, this should be pretty simple, if you don't mind using Ruby's eval (for applying those regexps) in a web application like this and cause a lot of backdoors with that. :-)
