MoTMoT: two projects with same name...

Hi all, I am the architect and maintainer of motmot.sourceforge.net and wanted to add this to my new Ohloh account today. After some failed attempts on the Experience>New Project page, I discovered my Sourceforge username was not recognized as the motmot project identifier was already taken by another project...

Can this be fixed such that I can check out some nice stats? ;-)

Thanks a lot in advance and best regards,

Hi Pieter,

Ohloh requires projects to have unique names, but we're hoping everyone will play nice and compromise on duplicate names.

I think the best solution here is that both projects will need to add a little extra to their Ohloh project titles to differentiate them -- along the lines of Motmot Camera Utilities and MoTMoT Model Transformer or something like that.

Feel free to make the changes to the projects.

Hi Robin, I don't have any obligations to using MoTMoT Model Transformer or so as an ID over here but will the Ohloh system be able to crawl the CVS data from sourceforge? I didn't find a SF URL or CVS URI field in the new project form.

I'll try it right now... perhaps there's another form after I've registered the project??? Curious...

CU,
Pieter

Ahhh... my mistake was to go to the experience tab of my account directly. I assumed that Ohloh already had all the Sourceforge, Freshmeat, ... projects pre-loaded. Today, I discovered the Add new project tab in the search projects section and solved the issue.

Thanks for watching over my shoulder :-)

Cheers,
Pieter
