also free ourselves from Gravatar I would probably wait for that step a bit. As Gravatar was recently bought by Automattic, it's service might improve over the next couple of months. :)

What I wanted to say was that you can do it now for (almost) free with Git, now. You can simply create repository which have all projects repositories as alternates, e.g. git --bare init, put absolute ... [More] paths to project repositories in $GIT_DIR/objects/info/alternates, then for each repository do git remote add , then do git remote update. As all objects are available via alternates mechanism, fetch (called by git remote update) would only update refs (branches and tags info). Then you would have to track only this common repository, which would gather all the history, automatically collating it and removing duplicates. Edit: This of course only reduces the problem of multiple repositories to the problem of multiple branches. I have not tested this setup personally [Less]

One of things that are shown in project summary is number of comment lines in the code (ratio of comments to code). Some developers think however that best documentation is well written code. What ... [More] Ohloh currently doesn't show is information about commit messages, and size of changeset introduced by commit. Well written commit messages together with good division of changes into well-contained parts helps enormously for example when finding bug by bisecting history. I had longer version of this suggestion, but unfortunately lost it in webbroswer crash [Less]

Any update on this?

Support for IDL .. Any news ?

A job-portal for opensource-jobs would be really cool. Offering jobs for open source projects Searching for opensource jobs (Criteria: Location, Programming Language, Coding Experience,...) Automatic job searching agents

It looks like it failed again: Step 1 of 3: Downloading source code history (Failed)

Hi James, I've rescheduled the update. I'll keep an eye on it today to make sure it goes through.

Hi Gianluca, Yes, the right solution in this case is to add the new Subversion enlistment to Ohloh, and then you can delete the old CVS enlistments. If you have any troubles let me know the details and I'll lend a hand. Thanks, Robin

Hello, I have just noticed that apparently the D programming language (which rapidly gains popularity last few years) is not supported by Ohloh. I strongly advise Ohloh team to fix this as soon as ... [More] possible. I am working on couple of projects entierly written in D and I have already seen some projects listed here which are written entirely in shell script (looks like Ohloh software recognizes D code as shell code). Kind regards [Less]
