1.3 Project or Website Dead?
This seems to be a common question users of sourceforge.net have for any
project hosted online. This may partly be because there are a lot of
projects on sourceforge.net which are "dead". However, it also might
be because those who use sourceforge.net do not fully understand the
bugs (features) which haunt the sourceforge website. Some of the
questions we routinely see:
The activity percentile on the page says 0.
This is actually partly a bug and partly misunderstanding on the part of
the user. SF.net has a bug which sometimes incorrectly accounts for
activity on a project. As a result, our website may say there is 0%
activity even when there is a large number of downloads and web traffic.
It may also be really high, even though there have been few downloads
and web traffic...
It is also attributed to user error, since the user may not realize that
activity only accounts for downloads and web traffic, not CVS uploads,
CVS downloads, and other activity.
The CVS Repository shows 0 Commits and 0 Adds.
We don't think that has ever worked. Not sure why either as we have
more commits per week than most projects on sourceforge. It is a known
bug affecting all projects created after a certain date.
There doesn't seem to be any email list traffic.
There is a lot of traffic, just not on public lists. You can always
start a trend. Use the public forums or the mailing lists to ask a
question or leave a comment (most folks tend to use the developers'
personal email addresses to ask questions or leave comments...which
we wish would stop... use openinfreno-users @ lists .dot. sf .dot. net.)
