Ohloh

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ohloh is a website which catalogs and gathers various statistic data on open source software projects. It was founded by former Microsoft managers Jason Allen and Scott Collison in 2004 and joined by the developer Robin Luckey. As of February 2007 the site lists 4,295 projects. By retrieving statistics from revision control repositories (such as CVS or SVN), it provides data about the longevity of projects, their licenses (including license conflict information) and software metrics such as source lines of code. The Codebase History informs about the amount of activity for each project.
