And here are the links with relevant stats
These projects point to https://github.com/wikimedia/*
For sanity purposes, would it make sense to agree that Wikimedia projects in Ohloh should point to their canonical locations at Gerrit (unless they are only in GitHub, of course)?

I like this as it generally raises the visibility of our projets. Having a top lovel *and* up to date view these days is next to impossible unless you follow multiple mailing lists and constantly read the monthly engineering reports.
As a test I added our WLM and Wikipedia Cordova apps to Ohloh to see what they would look like. It would be far simpler if we could be added as an organization so that these get added automatically.

Hi, what about having Wikimedia features as organization in Ohloh?
The proposal is interesting considering the current state of things: MediaWiki seems to be stalled with the SVN to Git migration, and it is close impossible to find out what other projects come from this community.
This would help or quest on community metrics, so here goes my humble +1. I also volunteer with some work, basically following the steps of https://github.com/wikimedia and pinging Sumana / here for anything else.
-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Seeking feedback on new "Organizations" feature on Ohloh Date: Tue, 16 Oct 2012 18:22:54 +0000 From: Rich Sands rsands@blackducksoftware.com To: metrics-wg@theopensourceway.org metrics-wg@theopensourceway.org
Hi all,
As I mentioned here recently, we're rolling out a new feature on Ohloh next week I thought might be interesting to this list. We're adding rollups of projects into "Organizations", so project contributors and others could see for example all the projects in the FooBar Foundation, which ones are most active, the most active contributors, year over year summary statistics, etc. I know many of you or folks in your organizations have rolled your own metrics for watching your foundation's projects and their activity. This feature isn't intended to replace any of that, but rather to provide a view into how organizations are contributing to and influencing FOSS. We've spoken with a number of you who've expressed a need for this, and hope this new feature can be a valuable resource.
We're rolling this out as a Beta feature and would love to get your feedback. There are two aspects we're looking at: which organizations steward which projects, and also which organizations contribute to which projects through developers affiliated with those organizations, whether they're for-profit, non-profit, governmental, or educational. Initially we're concentrating on the first aspect - projects in organizations. In a near-term iteration we'll add in the contribution bit, but for now we're not showing stats on which projects an organization contributes to.
If you would like a preview of this feature before it is released, let me know and I'll send you a URL and a name/password combo so you can check it out. And if you'd like your organization to be one of the featured ones when we open this up, I'd be thrilled to add you. All I need is an organization name, a short description, a logo (if available), a homepage URL for the organization, and a list of projects to include. If your projects aren't already on Ohloh, I can help you add them as well.
We're keen to make this useful, and we're rolling it out in a fairly raw state, so that the FOSS community can help it evolve. Also, please don't post about or publicize this new feature before it comes out next week. Looking forward to hearing from you!
