Well, I very very quickly grew to rank of 9 but, not that I complain, but I don't think I deserve it. However I fully understand the difficulty in accurately ranking people, and thank you again for developing Ohloh as good as it is (it's great!)

Thank you for quick information. I believe I understand the kudo system better. And perhaps the reduction of "strength" of vote should be in order -- I do not mean significant, but at least something ... [More] reasonable (definitely not more than 5 or 6). However, I'd like to point out that team of "opentibia" does not have any kudos, and opentibia itself doesn't have stacks (I've began a promotional campaign in the community so people are beginning to register and stack it) yet the kudo rank of the long-term developers over there around 5 or 6, and has been for very long (when the stack count of opentibia was around 1).

Hi, I'd like to point out to two accounts, "dpavlin" and "kost". While I fully respect "dpavlin", deducting from what his account page says about his work (Svaka čast, Pavlin!), and I don't want ... [More] anyone to take this personally, but their example makes me question the quality of Ohloh's KudoRank calculations. As you can see, "kost" has not reported work on any projects. He has zero activity on Ohloh. Yet, he gets KudoRank of 8. From Ohloh documentation: "KudoRank 8 is relatively uncommon, with about 6% of the population receiving this rank." So, a person with (as far as the system is concerned) zero activity whatsoever gets KudoRank of 8? I understand that he inherited it from dpavlin, however I don't understand how can dpavlin have so much influence on kost. I have over a year activity opensource reported to Ohloh, and I have a KudoRank of 1. What is wrong here? [Less]

Hi, Since I am a user of several forums, I'd like to add a badge or two in my signature. Yet, I cannot do that because Ohloh only provides Javascript code, and kind-of threat. I'd be more than ... [More] willing to include a link and an image; however, the forums I'm using don't allow more (and rightly so). Is there a chance of providing simple, HTML-only, non-JS code that I'll be able to convert into BBCode, or even prefabricated BBCode, like Imageshack does? Thanks in advance! P.S: // edit I'm referring to project pages. I'd like to have something similar to the user pages' BBcode and HTML code. [Less]

I am also wondering if using a third party service for avatars is good. First, I wonder what Gravatar has to gain from partnership with other sites (except network traffic bills)? Don't you wonder ... [More] that they might be in some kind of data mining operation? Does Ohloh want to be a part of it? On the other hand, I believe that Gravatar is a nice idea -- it's painful to maintain consistent avatars across the web. And you're welcome to block Gravatar's domain in your browser's settings. (Adblock is a nice plugin for Firefox/Iceweasel, Opera has it built in, ...) [Less]

Looking forward to faster updates :)
