Open Komodo, Duplicate

Hi, There's two different registered projects (#10861 and #9667) pointing to the same project (Open Komodo), one is named "OpenKomodo" and the other one is "Open Komodo" (note the space). Since these two are actually one project, I think it'd be better to remove one of 'em as it probably cost Ohloh (Am I right? you do download, analyze and ... twice, once for each of them).

It'd be really nice if you add a "Report this project" or something like this to each projects information page, that way reporting Spams, Duplications and ... would be a more pleasant job.

btw. It's the second time my Facebook Application which uses Ohloh API helped me out to find a problem in projects registration/information, the other one was when a user changed the name of Ubuntu project ;)

HI Amir,

Thanks for reporting this. I'll merge both to make 9667 the definitive one.

Hi Amir,

I changed my mind and chose 10861 to be the definitive one instead - it had better information already in it.

Ohloh's backend is intelligent enough to only process a repository once (even if it's included in many projects) - so we didn't incur much overhead in having both projects on our system. However, our most precious commodity - our users and our own time - still ends up being wasted by duplicate projects.

Your suggestion is very good: adding a 'report problem' link would help out a lot. We'll try to add this after we ship the v2 UI (which should be any day now).
