Matching keywords

I've seen various projects with the message Matching keywords (Waiting in queue) for several days. Could you explain us what are you actually doing when you say you are matching keywords?

Thanks

Hi Jonan,

The matching keywords process is not part of our normal operations, and it will not affect project reports.

We are in the midst of a large-scale data analysis experiment. We are feeding all of the source code we've downloaded through a series of keyword-matching filters to generate some reports. For instance, by looking for certain method names in C code, we can identify whether a source file targets the Win32 API.

Given the huge volume of code we have, it's going to take a few days to feed it all through the system, so you'll see this status code on many projects for the next few days. We should be back to business as usual on Monday. Depending on how the experiment turns out, it may lead to new features on Ohloh, but there are no concrete plans yet.

Ok, thanks for that info. I'm really pleased to see you are trying new things.

Good luck ;-)
