Hi, On Ohloh.net we have only 14 official users ([1]), while mingw has nearly 300 and Wine more than 1000... I think we should do our best to improve our user count there, because Ohloh became somewhat important in the OSS world. If you try to add MinGW-w64 to it and you type "mingw" because you're lazy, you'll get a long list of projects. And while "mingw-w64-dgn" is available in that list, MinGW-w64 is not. Only if you add a hyphen ("mingw-") you'll find MinGW-w64 in the list - at the end of the list. I first though it's a chicken-egg problem: Having only 14 people marking us as "I use this" makes Ohloh think we're not that popular. But mingw-w64-dgn only has one user and is more visible in the list.... Tasks: * I just changed the Ohloh project name from "MinGW-w64 - for 32 and 64 bit Windows" to "MinGW-w64", because the help on it says "Please use as short a name as possible." * We should highlight a button on the website, e.g. "I Use It - Simple" from [2] * Collect other ideas to improve the situation [1] https://www.ohloh.net/p/mingw-w64 [2] https://www.ohloh.net/p/mingw-w64/widgets |
