A New Kind of Web Crawler
Once a project has been added to the Ohloh directory, our system interfaces with its source
control server to continuously monitor development activity.
Our detailed analyses engine evaluates each change to determine authorship, language usage, and licensing.
This technique allows Ohloh to provide a unique historical view of the project lifecycle,
as well as the most complete and up-to-date statistics available anywhere.
