It was going along nicely there for a while but seems to have failed again.

Thanks for the update. I have no objection to the wait - just that when the wait is unquantified it's kinda teasing. Knowing when to check back is all I wanted. :-)

i apologize for our crappy markup. This particular problem should be fixed. Feel free to suggest more prescriptive advice if you'd like. Thanks.

If you want to update the email address you listed for ohloh, you may now do so. Go to My Profile, Edit, Change Email Let me know if you have feedback or problems with this. Thanks.

by very strange coincidence, we were just discussing the fact that Ohloh doesn't support this feature. It would require us re-jiggering our db schema. And by re-jiggering, I mean it would be pretty ... [More] hard. Meanwhile, is there no chance you could ask Paul Eggert to join instead? ;-) [Less]

Mailing lists may be one protocol, but how are you gonna extract necessary info from them? I figure you need to get web archives of them (crawler style), but then there are many different softwares ... [More] producing archives... or are you going for raw mbox? One alternative is of course to base it on mailing lists retrievable from services such as gmane.org... [Less]

Hi clrg, The bad news is that we are about 2-3 days behind on new projects. The really great news is that we just negotiated for large increase in bandwidth! I am cranking up the limits on the ... [More] server farm right now. If my wildest dreams come true, we are going to blaze through the queue and start updating regularly again. Thanks for your patience. [Less]

Hi dtw, Let me save you some vain hope. We don't really delete enlistments (we just detach them from the project), so when you remove and recreate an enlistment, you end up getting a pointer to the ... [More] same failed enlistment you had before. The web page display might be different, but behind the scenes nothing has changed. Our database does not enforce uniqueness on project names, case sensitive or otherwise. Yes, this is a problem, and we really should fix this. When it comes time to add positions to your profile, the project name matches are not case-sensitive. If two projects have the same name but have different case, you will be matched to either one of them arbitrarily. This wouldn't be a problem if we had enforced uniqueness properly to begin with. Sorry you've been having trouble and that the answers weren't clear. I hope this helps. [Less]

I've restarted the job again. We are getting about 100 operations between failures, with about 2800 to go. With this sort of low failure rate, most manual users wouldn't ever notice any problem. It's ... [More] also possible that we are being switched off for exceeding bandwidth limits -- I'm not familiar with this particular server. [Less]

There should be a way to indicate that a project has switched to an unsupported version control system, as well as which unsupported version control system(s) a project uses. For instance the hugs ... [More] project (http://www.ohloh.net/projects/4078) seems to use darcs now. Not that there's necessarily much development on that particular project these days, but it'd be nice to be able to indicate things like this. [Less]
