Idea #8895: Try to get Ohloh implement bzr support

bug This idea was marked as being not considered for implementation the 19 February 09.
Written by silwol the 21 May 08 at 09:54. Category: Programming. Related project: Nothing/Others. Status: Won't implement
Rationale
Ohloh is a really great site which can be a good motivator for contribution. Pitily there is no support for bzr which makes it difficult to get launchpad code counted. Canonical could contact Ohloh and talk to them in order to get bzr support.

The ohloh SCM analysis source code has been published, so it should possible to develop Bazaar support for anybody familiar with Ruby.

It is too bad you didn't contact ohloh yourself before submitting this brainstorm otherwise you'd know that they're working on their code to make this possible and have been since last year.

I also don't understand why you think Canonical should be involved, unless you think they can boss the ohloh project administrators into doing what you want. Is that what you're hoping for?

Lastly, there is nothing stopping you from counting your own code. The ohcount ruby program is available as open source so why don't you do it yourself?

1. I did contact ohloh, but I didn't get any reply from them. I also read all the suggestion entries for bzr in the ohloh forums, and they contain many "+1" votes, but no reply of any ohloh admin.
2. I guess it is easier for canonical to get a connection to ohloh... If canonical contacts ohloh, this simply has more weight
3. Of course I can run the ohcount program on my own. But I don't get the beautiful per-user statistics, and I have to run my own infrastructure in order to get the counting without having to manually run it all the time on my home computer.

Because this idea described a request totally independent from ubuntu, I'm marking the idea as "won't implement". However, it's nice to know that they implemented bzr!
