Exclusion of certain project content from statistics

Hi,

I recently added ART-DECOR as project. The statistics are absolutely fabulous, but they also make us look way better than we are. This is due to the fact that we include a lot of contents that we only import and repackage. Hence we do not account for a lot of the man years of work that the statistics would make you believe.

I have not been able to find anything that would make the analysis a little more selective as to what we did as opposed to what others did.

Does such a mechanism exist? Do all OpenHub projects 'suffer' from more or less the same sort of problem?

Alexander,

Yes, there is a way. On the enlistments page, press the button Edit ignored files. Follow the examples there and you should be able to exclude whole directories or individual files. Hopefully, your repositories are organized such that only a couple of exclusions will solve the problem. There is a limit on how many exclusions you can do. Too many individual exclusions aren't possible.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks!

Great! That should help me build a much more realistic picture

By widgets you mean what I can find under Tools in the menu?

They look super if you can work them into your hosting. Managers like them as a promotions tool.

Thanks!
