More strict warnings about the code
Obviously not for all languages, but Ohloh should warn about code that:
Mixes syntax styles within a document.
Example, using:
if (true) {
} else {
}
In the same document as
if (true)
{
}
else
{
}
Ohloh should also warning about tabs on empty lines and useless whitespace.
Another suggestion is that Ohloh gives a plus rating if the project includes test cases.
I don’t know if that’s a good idea. Often, projects mix code from different origin, even legacy code. When applied to only one file in question, this however might be a good idea – the package tools we inherited from FreeBSD via OpenBSD actually have one file with THREE different indentation styles in them… and guess what, we do not fix that because it would mean that almost all lines have to be touched, which wrecks stuff like cvs annotate…
