And there is even spam in this forum from "minutedjhonson1".

In your database, OCaml is called "Objective Caml". This was the original name for the language, but the upstream developers have decided to settle on the name OCaml. See: ... [More] http://alan.petitepomme.net/cwn/2011.08.02.html#3 Please can you rename the language in your DB! [Less]

http://www.ohloh.net/p/libguestfs/enlistments There was a problem on our server a couple of weeks ago. However it should have been fixed for a while now. Ohloh doesn't seem to retry enlistments? ... [More] Perhaps it could retry with an exponential back-off. [Less]

How do you report spam? Anyway, this project looks like spam: http://www.ohloh.net/p/cosmeticsurgery

https://www.ohloh.net/p/libguestfs/enlistments However the problem was at our end - we moved the server and it was down for a few days. It should be up again now, and many other people are using it again, so it should be accessible for you now.

As you can see here: https://www.ohloh.net/p/libguestfs/enlistments I control the git server too, so maybe if there is a problem with your servers accessing my git server I can help out too.

The other thing to note is that 1 line of OCaml is worth 20 lines of C :-)

In https://www.ohloh.net/p/libguestfs a lot of code is generated code, so ohloh is totally off-base about this project, for example claiming that the code has too few comments, and that it is mostly ... [More] written in C. We commit generated code into the repository to make it simpler for developers to build, since the generator is somewhat esoteric. Anyhow I think you should look at files that have a warning at the top. For example if "warning" "generated" "do not edit" (etc) appears in the first few lines of a file, either discount that file or give it less weight. [Less]

Ooops, one thing I forgot to add. How about alllowing people to suggest web pages which contain lists of projects. I assume that you already spider websites, so let people submit pages that can act ... [More] as a start point. For example, you don't have much in the way of OCaml projects on this site. But if you started here: http://caml.inria.fr/cgi-bin/hump.en.cgi then you'd be able to find a few hundred. [Less]

One thing I notice is that lots of my projects aren't listed on Ohloh. Well, I could add them I suppose, but how about some suggestions for feeds you could use to automatically add projects. (1) ... [More] Freshmeat.net - this should be obvious! I'm guessing the reason you don't use it must be legal/contractual? (2) Look at the Fedora CVS. Start at: http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/devel/ Each of those is a Fedora package, so let's take one of mine as an example: http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/devel/virt-df/virt-df.spec?revision=1.5&view=markup Notice the spec file contains the project name, link to the upstream project and latest tarball, and a (Fedora) changelog. (BTW, instead of scraping web pages, be a good citizen and checkout the Fedora CVS, instructions are here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/UsingFedoraCVS ) (3) Similar thing for Debian starting at http://packages.debian.org/stable/allpackages Hope this is helpful, Rich.
