Hi Andrew, We store the passwords in a salted hash in our DB - not plain text. The mailing you received contained the password in plain text to serve as a note of record should you forget in the ... [More] future. Our site doesn't rely on https, therefore all communication between you and Ohloh is relayed as plaintext and not very secure. We don't have the ability to reset your password yet, but if you'd like I could either: Delete your account so you can recreate it with a different password Modify your password to either a random one or something of your choosing (mail me at [email protected]) Sorry if this surprised you in any way, -jay [Less]

Great - thanks for cleaning up the projects too. -jay

Hi, Sorry about that - looks like our cvs connection string validator doesn't like the c:\ path. We'll get on it. -jay

Hi D, Thanks for the notice. It's fixed. -jay

Hi Randolf, Just added Tcl support for you and re-indexed your project. It shows 11% Tcl, which seems in the right ballpark. Let me know if that seems right to you too. -jay

We're having some trouble downloading the source control history for this project. I did some investigating, and it looks as though the SourceForge server is having some problems right now -- ... [More] Subversion operations aren't working consistently. I'll keep and eye on this project, and hopefully the server will come back and we can get the report done soon. Robin [Less]

Greetings All, Thanks for feedback - keep it coming: http://ohloh.net/projects/3159/contributors only 0.5 man month. I fixed this -- it should have said Man Years all along. And the forum ... [More] formatting doesn't work as in the Formatting help described. I also addressed this: the directions were misleading - we changed markup rules. Thanks again, -jay [Less]

We make a little money from advertising and we don't plan to improve our ad revenues by bombarding our users with ads in the midst of our content. We intend for this information and metrics service to ... [More] always be free. In the coming weeks and months we will roll out some cool new services some of which will be free, others that will be fee based. As our planning gets a little more solid we'll let you know in more detail what our future plans are. [Less]

Over past several weeks we received a lot of constructive suggestions for our site. The suggestions can be grouped into five areas: UI improvements, project editing, project requests, discussions and ... [More] notifications. Improving the UI: We have removed parts of the site that folks didn't use and have made the current site more readable and navigable. Editing a Project:You can edit a project by logging in and using our wiki to edit items such as the project description, project homepage, and the project source code repository. Adding a Project: You can put projects into the system to be indexed by logging in and supplying a project description, a project homepage and project source code repository information. Discussions: We've added this forum page as well as project forum pages so that users can debate Ohloh's service and a project's metrics. Receiving Notifications: Our users can receive notifications via RSS such as when a project has been indexed, when a project has been updated and when someone has posted to a particular discussion. I'm sure that Jason and Robin will go into more depth about these changes in this forum and on the Ohloh blog. We hope these improvements to our site make Ohloh more fun and useful. Give it a try and please let us know how we can make further improvements to our service. Thanks, --scott [Less]
