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 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.

Hi Timeless,

Thanks for the note. I deleted the project. Getting in touch with us through emai (info@ohloh.net) or posting a suggestion or entry to the forums are all good ways to get a project deleted.

Long story:

I added these projects from the nokia garage forge yesterday, Friday night, to let our source code analysis engine start working on them. I still have some clean-up to do. Frankly, I thought I'd be able to do it quietly over the weekend before anyone noticed.

If you see anything else that looks wrong, I'd love to know. I already know that I need to add project descriptions and delete some projects that have no code in the SVN repo at the garage.

Thanks again for the quick notification and for checking out Ohloh, -Andy
