When you merge the branch back into the trunk, that will be seen by ohloh, but the individual commits on the branch will not be seen by ohloh. There are a whole range of changes which people seem to ... [More] be screaming for louder than this, so don't count on it. But then I'm not an ohloh insider, so they might be about to release it.

What is needed for RDF is an SHA1 hash, as described in the FOAF standard. Using anything else is a complete nightmare interoperability-wise.

ohloh tags are an example of a Folksonomy which has deep problems, but is participatory in the same way that open source is. What you are describing is a Controlled vocabulary which also have deep ... [More] issues, but require specific in-depth training. Controlled vocabularies are formal systems and can be shown to be incomplete in the Turing sense. Folksonomies are interpretative systems. [Less]

The best option here is to find a public repository that doesn't require a username and password. Most open source repositories have anon public repositories that anyone can access, does yours not?

Very nice, thanks!

It was linked to from http://www.ohloh.net/posts.rss before the post was pulled and some RSS aggregators save items until they're read, so I read it in my RSS reader days after it was pulled.

Ideas Looking at the project graph, something has clearly been going on: http://www.ohloh.net/projects/4719/analyses/latest (a) ohloh has a strict definition of "code" that includes config scripts ... [More] and pretty much everything in version control. Have these changed or been regenerated recently? (b) check out a version from before the shrinkage and do a comparison yourself. (c) does you project use template-generated code or something like that? These being regenerated can cause huge changes (d) has there been any repository reorganisation? (e) If you still think it's a problem give specific dates / revisions. [Less]

RSS is good, deleting SPAM is good, checking that links published in the feed still do something sensible when the forum post has been deleted as SPAM is even better. Example: http://www.ohloh.net/forums/3491/topics/1758

Generally ohloh links back to the original open source project and the project holds the contact details.
