Forums : Suggestions for Ohloh 2.0

Dear Open Hub Users,

We’re excited to announce that we will be moving the Open Hub Forum to https://community.synopsys.com/s/black-duck-open-hub. Beginning immediately, users can head over, register, get technical help and discuss issue pertinent to the Open Hub. Registered users can also subscribe to Open Hub announcements here.


On May 1, 2020, we will be freezing https://www.openhub.net/forums and users will not be able to create new discussions. If you have any questions and concerns, please email us at [email protected]

SCM metric: commit message size, changeset size

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 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
