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 ... [More] 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. [Less]

Add checkboxes to user account stack suggestions. Add a fixed positioned container for (multiple) Stack it! and Ignore buttons. This will dramatically decrease server load on ohloh.org and will ... [More] additionally decrease time to explore open-source projects. [Less]

Please support darcs! I will then be able to use Ohloh. Thanks.

Add statistics and divide projects according to some common things - programming language, web/desktop, operating system, maturity, etc.

Automatic (or semi-automatic) contributors matching would be a nice feature. Let say I am registered with the email: [email protected], I also marked some commits from [email protected] as ... [More] belonging to me and created a project alias between [email protected] and [email protected]. The ohloh should be able, when it fetches new projects to know that if the commiter is either [email protected], [email protected] or [email protected] that it should be associated/aliased to the right user on ohloh. It could be fully automatic or require the acceptance of the ohloh user (from a feed, automatic email, etc...). That could also be an option. [Less]

Many users (myself included) are developers for multiple source forge products. Since I contribute to all projects with the same source forge user name, when a new project is added to ohloh with my ... [More] source forge account as a developer should be automatically be associated with my ohloh account. The same should apply to other shared repositories. [Less]

Thanks Daniel, embarrassing bug, now fixed.

It's a pity that tag clouds are only available at project level. It's a really nice feature and I think you should bring it forward in your interface. Why not add a top level tag cloud and link to it ... [More] from the Projects submenu? I don't think this should replace the searchable tag table, but a tag cloud would be a nice way to browse through Ohloh's database. [Less]

It looks like POD in Perl projects is counted as code and blank lines instead of comments, while POD is frequently used for API documentation. ... [More] http://www.ohloh.net/projects/7345/contributors/40847/commits/12313725 shows the addition of over 500 lines of code and blanks to LedgerSMB/AM.pm. The actual changes by the commit to that file show that the majority of the commit was the addition of POD, http://ledger-smb.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/ledger-smb/trunk/LedgerSMB/AM.pm?r1=1410&r2=1460 [Less]
