Hi, I don't know much about where to start with things. When I was younger I got on IRC and started writing simple scripts, then other languages, etc. While I can't give you good advice myself, this ... [More] question comes up from time to time on Reddit's programming section: http://www.reddit.com/r/programming From time to time, some neat new things pop up purporting to be great ways to bring your kids into programming. However, not having kids myself, I hadn't paid much attention to those. [Less]

Robin: Ah, I see. I'll try to talk to the system administrators for that server (it's Debian's main machine for developers) and see if I can have them add an exception for Ohloh to get the proper ... [More] indexing done. I'm not sure if the public SVN interface is restricted, though I know there have been some issues with viewsvn (due to Google and other search engines indexing the viewsvn pages) which has led to some poor performance in the past. Thanks a lot for your help. I'm really excited by the types of statistics we get from Ohloh and would love to see more recent numbers. I understand it's quite difficult to keep up with the repository as it's quite large and has quite a few active developers making sometimes hundreds of commits a day. Thanks for your help. Warm regards, Jonathan [Less]

Hi Robin, Thanks for your help tracking down the issue and adding the enlistment back to the queue. I've noticed it updating a few times, but I haven't seen the code analysis complete. How long does ... [More] it usually take for that to happen? Cheers, Jonathan [Less]

Hi: For some reason, the commits are really outdated and it's showing: svn://svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-perl/trunk Subversion (Failed about 1 month ago.) As far as I know, that URL should still be ... [More] working, but if it's broken, that's something I'll need to talk to the Debian System Administrator (DSA) team about. Please look into this and advise on how best to proceed. Cheers, Jonathan https://www.ohloh.net/p/pkg-perl/enlistments [Less]

That's neat to see. The problem with mining data from CPAN is that the code is not in centralized Subversion repositories like SourceForge. It can be anywhere. So it might be difficult to cull ... [More] results from CPAN into something useful. And worse, some packages might not even use a Version Control System :o Still, some pretty neat statistics to see. What I personally wonder is: how many of the Perl projects listed on SourceForge are duplicates of those on CPAN? Would CPAN benefit from a single central repository provided to Perl authors in the same way that PAUSE itself is? [Less]

I think part of this may be due to the way Ohloh detects what is code and what is comments. From what I can tell, it seems that it treats POD comments as code, but I'm not sure, and I just joined Ohloh today :-)
