For projects like Gnome and Mozilla, people often do register and collect one or two of the projects they work on. But they often miss a couple. Take Glynn Foster (sun) ... [More] https://www.ohloh.net/accounts/gman/positions This is the same person: https://www.ohloh.net/p/gedit/contributors/33996813760182 And I'd like to be able to tell ohloh: (a) I think this is the same person (b) Please tell this person that someone thinks the contribution is yours Today all I can do is use https://www.ohloh.net/contributors/33996813760182/invites/new to send an email via ohloh to an email address I know. But since ohloh knows my account and can tell me when I get kudos, I belive it knows gman's account and can send the mail to that account. Ideally it should be possible for people of a high enough kudos rank to confirm a suggestion w/o waiting for the person to reply. [Less]

I add aliases en masse to large projects, as i add aliases, the link i need to hit to add a new alias moves further down the page, this is annoying and slows down my work, could you please include a link above the aliases?

Is there any timeline for this? I've come across some corporations which really would like an easy way to address this, and in fact at mozilla.org, a non trivial amount of triage time is spent trying ... [More] to find the tracker for various extensions/plugins/random applications which each have their own hard to find web sites. I'd really love to be able to simply visit ohloh and get a link to the bug tracker. Even if the bug tracker isn't searchable. I understand that at the beginning I'd probably be filling in the links more often than I'd be finding them, but this really doesn't bother me. It's also not immediately important for me to be able to use ohloh to search the bug tracker, although I recently described to a large entity how such a feature could be useful. And yes, Mozilla projects are still waiting to see Mercurial support from ohloh, but we're already growing tools to handle Mercurial. We don't have much interest in growing a tool to map the world of software projects to record where their bug trackers live - this is something that I eagerly await from ohloh. [Less]

How can I mark someone else as another manager? (I'm not trying to abandon the field, I just want to mark a couple of other people as also being managers.)

Provide a way to delete projects created by bots and confused users. Someone mass added a gforge domain. I was consulted in advance and said something like: It's OK as long as they don't make a ... [More] second copy of the project I already set up. Unfortunately the slave went about and created the project anyway and while I can find a way to delete the enlistments. I can't find any way to delete the project. the proper project is: http://www.ohloh.net/projects/6783 the poor project which should not exist is: http://www.ohloh.net/projects/7463 it was created by "ohloh_slave". I understand that ohloh relies heavily on bots, but the fact that there's no way to counter all their actions is fairly frustrating. [Less]
