If you have been to Ohloh.net a few minutes ago, you should have seen that ejabberd was the number one Open Source project of all time.
This screenshot is not a fake. We are very popular, but a slight manipulation in Ohloh.net can allow you to get a even better result :) Can you guess what we did to get this result :)
What we have learned here is that:
- The popularity algorithm of Ohloh is simple. It is the number of incoming link to a website on Yahoo! We would be glad to help adding other interesting metrics in the calculation.
- The web site should moderate the sensitive informations. The URL of the project is one of them as it is used to calculate the popularity.
Yes, you have probably guessed that changing your project URL to https://www.google.com/ is enough to make you the most popular project on Ohloh.net.
