Rank calculation algorithm
Here a suggestion for the rank calculation algorithm that would likely produce much better results than the current one:
Rankingpoints =
ln (Total number of commits * 50) * ln (Total lines of code changed * Language factor) * ln (1 + Sum of stacks of all contributed projects * 5)
Language factor could be use to factor in the difference in LOC between languages. If unwanted assume a value of 1)
The algorithm is very easy and fast to calculate and it could be extended by more factors (e.g. longest time in project, persistance in contributing, etc.)
