Developer listed twice on "Contributors" page in project JFire

Hello *,

already for a while, the developer "chairat" is listed twice on: http://www.ohloh.net/projects/jfire/contributors

Once on the first page with more than 900 commits and once on the second page with 0 commits. Why that?

I first thought, it's a temporary problem while some index data is updated, but the 2nd didn't disappear.

Best regards, Marco :-)

Hi Marco,

The problem seems to be that the Ohloh account "chairat" has somehow managed to make two separate claims against the source control on this project. Our system is supposed to prevent this from happening, so I don't know how we got into this state.

One of his claims has all of the commits, while the other has nothing to connect to and shows 0 commits.

I'll try to figure out how this happened, and I'll remove the empty claim.

Thanks, Robin

Hi Robin,

thanks a lot! I saw that you already removed the 2nd occurance of "chairat". Great.

Another question about the contributors listing: What about this "Patemino" who has 0 commits, too? Even though he's not listed twice, I wonder why someone without any commit is listed at all. Is that some manual contribution declaration? Or did I stumble over another illegal state?

Best regards, Marco :-)

Hi Marco,

Yes, it looks like "Patemino" is an Ohloh member who claims to have contributed to JFire. He didn't specify what username he used to make commits, so perhaps he didn't actually make any commits. Perhaps he submitted a patches, or contributed in some other way?

Do you know who this person is?

Hi Robin,

thanks a lot for your quick response!

Yes, I searched our forum for "Patemino" and saw that he has posted a few times. He signed our "contributor license agreement", too, and therefore, I think it's OK to leave him in the list. I hope he'll contribute some code, soon ;-)

Best regards, Marco :-)
