Forums : Suggestions for Ohloh 2.0

Dear Open Hub Users,

We’re excited to announce that we will be moving the Open Hub Forum to https://community.synopsys.com/s/black-duck-open-hub. Beginning immediately, users can head over, register, get technical help and discuss issue pertinent to the Open Hub. Registered users can also subscribe to Open Hub announcements here.


On May 1, 2020, we will be freezing https://www.openhub.net/forums and users will not be able to create new discussions. If you have any questions and concerns, please email us at [email protected]

It would be cool if your computation of the theoretical cost of a project could reward for refactoring and penalize for rampant cut-n-paste reuse, rather than basing it purely on LOC. In a mature codebase, a lot of the value comes from the simplicity and maintainability of well-factored code and removal of obsolete cruft. Maybe some complexity analysis (e.g., gzip compression ratio) and counting commit log entries per LOC might provide some useful metrics along these lines.
