Heh, yes, we have a little bug there. For performance, we cache the stack counts. Somehow, we miss the occasional stack add or delete, and the count gets off by one. Until I have time to debug this ... [More] , we periodically recompute the cached values from scratch to make sure they're correct, which is why the problem seemed to go away. [Less]

In some page, clicking an account name redirect you to http://www.ohloh.net/account Example: on http://www.ohloh.net/projects/9 Links on account names are not the same as on: http://www.ohloh.net/projects/9/links

Depends on the project. Either way, you don't do it via ohloh. For example, if the project is on sourceforge.net, then the project admin invites you to become a member. Once you are a member, you can ... [More] update the SVN or CVS, which ohloh will then detect and add you to the contributors list. Hope that helps. [Less]

Hi bonzini, Yes, we don't have Smalltalk support yet. It shouldn't be too difficult. We have a growing pile of language parsing features to implement -- next time we crack open the parser (which should be soon), we'll get Smalltalk in.

Yes, this is a known bug on my work list. I'll bump the priority. Thanks for the heads-up, Robin

Bananeweizen is correct. Sorry you had trouble JP. The reasons for the distinction between aliases and claims are obscure and technical, but I suppose that's not a good excuse for the website to also ... [More] be obscure and technical. Perhaps we should consider making aliasing automatic: if you claim two contributions, it seems we should be able to automatically create an alias behind the scenes. It gets a little messy if you unclaim one or the other contribution. Hmm. Thoughts? [Less]

Hi Patrick, If I recall correctly, SpagoBI was at the top of our failed jobs queue for a very long time. We had a lot of trouble trying to download this project, either because our network connection ... [More] to this server is very unreliable or the server itself wouldn't stay up long enough for us to finish the job. I've just started a new download attempt. I'll keep an eye on it today and let you know how it goes. [Less]

Ah - ok - I think I understand. An account can only claim 'contributions' - that is, a committer on a project. In your case, you seem to want to claim a different Ohloh account. This isn't possible. ... [More] Since the jrepenning accounts seems empty (ie: no kudos or claims), would you like me to simply delete it instead? [Less]

Hi Michael, We've been thinking about this as well, and it's interesting to hear that others are interested in this. We have a couple of big projects affected by this -- for instance, the GNOME ... [More] project includes all of GIMP, and the Firefox project should really include the Mozilla Core project, but does not. I think the correct answer, as you propose, is to create subprojects or special projects that aggregate other projects together. This would also help avoid double-counting statistics -- someone who adds code to GIMP also gets credited for adding code to GNOME, even though it's the same code. It will probably be a while before we have the time to implement this, but if you have specific ideas on how to go about it we're interested in your thoughts. [Less]

FYI CIA lets developers specify a URL scheme to a browsable version of the repository, you may want to take a look at how they do this.
