duplicate project

I'd like to mention a duplicate project (was imho badly named):

I belive 3602 can be removed or 4471 can be removed and the 3602 be renamed :)

Well, while we are at it, I noticed two duplicate projects: one is named zimbra and the other Zimbra. The first one was added by one of the users in the community, the other seems to have been added by a robot a few weeks after that.
The fact that they have the same SVN repository URL might have been a hint that the project was already there... (hint, hint...) :) :) :)

thanks guys,

I've removed the suggested duplicates. I also consolidated the stacks so that everyone still points at the correct projects.

While detecting possible dupes from similar repositories/names/links is very reasonable feature - its not a very high priority when compared to our other planned features. This means we'll have to keep relying on manual detection for now.

Please keep posting any other project dupes - we'll keep cleaning em up.

I just added Vega Strike, only to find that it was already in the database.

Here's mine

Here's the one that was already there

Is there a way to merge them instead of just deleting one or the other? The older should probably be the entry that remains, especially because the source has already been analyzed, but I think mine has a better description, and the related programs seem to be more on-target (this is because of the tags, right?)

You really should at least run a search on new project submissions. I mean, these two entries have the exact same name. I thought I searched beforehand, but I may have searched for vegastrike instead of vega strike so it didn't come up.

Hi Halleck, I've moved your changes into the existing project and removed the new one.

Vega Strike has been duped once again:

Dupe numero dos

Thanks for noticing this. I deleted the new copy of Vega Strike.
