Support for mercurial
Great!
I'm already excited about being able to add my set of Mercurial Repositories to Ohloh soon!
Many thanks for doing this right!
This sounds really hopeful. I've been wanting to play with Ohloh for ages but there's been no point whilst all my code is held in Mercurial repositories (mostly Xen stuff and private projects I've been working on), so I've mostly just been following this thread with a longing gaze in my eyes...
It'll be quite exciting to have hg support as I'll feel much more able to contribute if I become a first class citizen - I might take another look at might account now, in anticipation. Thanks for making this happen, Robin!
How's the status?
Good to hear some word on this, looking forward to it.
See also this thread -- we might be support for Mercurial in a week!
Well, we'll see.. After a year of waiting I am still a bit doubtful. ;)
well that thread was about 2 weeks ago and it still doesnt show mercurial as an option so I would have to agree with Christoph Kappel on this one.
Awesome, I've been using the hg beta support and I'm really pleased to have it available. I've added two of my own projects and registered as a contributor on a couple of others. I'll continue to do this as appropriate - I felt there was no point participating when none of my code could be counted but now I feel much more motivated to get involved! Thanks!

Yes, please. Most projects on opensolaris.org use Mercurial.
Ohloh has supported Mercurial since January 2009.
See this announcement.

@Robin: so... why does the FAQ still not mention it? Time for an update, methinks.
It looks like the Google Code crawler doesn't automatically enlist hg repositories. See for example the chibi-scheme project. I had to add the enlistment manually.
@Jürgen,
Thanks for the tip -- I have updated the FAQ to include Mercurial and Bazaar.
@Peter,
Yes, the Google Code crawler does not yet add Mercurial repositories automatically. This is something we may consider adding as Mercurial becomes more popular.

Michael:
About a year ago the Google code crawler at Ohloh was turned off.
One of our highest priorities over the next few weeks is to turn this back on, which includes enhancing it to add mercurial repositories as well.
