Person rakning is now so flawed its not even funny

Hey guys

I've always liked Ohloh since I'm a stats and open source junkie, but the recent rankings show how flawed the algorithms currently are so it's not even funny any more.

Now we have a brand new user ranked #1 with 464 commits and a #2 with 20 commits. I'm convinced no human ever would rank them this high. That's a sign of the ranking algorithm being a failure. Please consider making them more in line with how ordinary people would consider the ranking to be, as ohloh becomes less useful and interesting when we see stupid results as this output from all the useful input it gets!

I blogged about this a while ago but nothing seems to have change since then so perhaps I should leave a link to my post:
