So what? No official statement?
Our official statement
is that we have every intention of opening up our source, it's just taking us longer than we planned to do so.
At the beginning we weren't sure exactly what Ohloh was going to be. There was a time when the idea of building charts and reports from source control repositories didn't equate to building a website directory of open source software. It also wasn't exactly clear how we were going to pay the rent. Keeping the code closed just seemed like a prudent business move. It gave us options. We knew we could always open up the source once the business plan allowed it, but it would be much harder (or impossible) to do the reverse. So we started out closed.
If we had it all to do over again, yes, I wish we'd been open source from day one. It's now clear that our business might actually be better off if we open up. But here we are, and it's going to take a little work on our part to get the code out there. And we're dreadfully busy, so this task keeps taking a back seat to more pressing issues.
Opening up our code is my favorite to-do item on our white board.
