Hi Jon.

I sent this a while back to the evangelism list, but it seems to have
been lost in the moderator queue.

Hi.

ohloh.net has been acquired by SourceForge a while back, giving me
some hope, that they'll be able to improve their service again. I've
therefor put Plone back onto ohloh (https://www.ohloh.net/p/plone)

Their standard short analysis is both favorable and correct. The info
about ratings, reviews, "who uses" and "who contributes" is correct as
well. The underlying data represents plone-coredev trunk, which means
Plone 5 right now. The number of lines of code for that release looks
correct as well.

But: The whole historical view of any data is pretty much useless.
Neither the LOC history nor the number of commits per contributor are
anywhere close to being correct.

This is a limitation of the ohloh.net service, which we cannot do
anything about right now. Just be aware of it, if someone tries to
quote or use any of this data.

Thanks,
Hanno
