Commits on CVS branches not counted as contribution

Your statistics leave a wrong impression about projects. You should at least remove automatically generated statements such as "Decreasing year-over-year development activity" for projects that ... [More] develop on branches. Just to give you an idea about the dimension of this error: My commits to the OOo code base, according to Bonsai, from 2000-10-06 to 2008-01-18: 11130 Counted by Ohloh: 739 Eike [Less]

So, do you guys care about this or not? Will it be changed? In near future?

Commits on CVS branches not counted as contribution

The statistics for OpenOffice.org (probably as well as those for projects working similar) have a serious flaw: commits on CVS branches are not counted as contribution. OOo development takes place on ... [More] CVS branches of selected modules, so-called Child Workspaces (CWS), that are integrated to HEAD when a feature or fix is ready and QA'ed. So the main contributors listed on http://www.ohloh.net/projects/29/analyses/latest/contributors are actually the release engineers who merge the CWS branches to HEAD, or contributors committing HTML of the web sites to HEAD, but not the actual code contributors. It looks as if developers ceased to contribute code in 2003, back when we introduced the CWS handling.. Regards Eike [Less]
