small language support?

Hi there

My FOSS project implements support for a bespoke domain-specific small language used for mathematical modelling (ie equations and variables that get solved when the file is loaded by our software package).

Is there any way to add support in Ohloh to code in such small languages, so that those files can be counted as code rather than non-code which is ignored from statistics gathering?

Cheers
JP

John,

You can take a look at our language recognition code at https://github.com/blackducksw/ohcount (it's mostly written in Ruby) and see if you could work in support for your language. Pull requests are happily accepted and after being evaluated they can be added to the production servers. That's about the only way that it will happen since it is hard to allocate developer time as it is...

If you do, consider passing along your experiences here to others so they too have guidance about how to add their small-scale but important languages to our stable. See: https://www.ohloh.net/forums/3493 for information about ohcount...

Thanks!
