I had the same problem. Thanks for fixing it!

Totally agree. We moved from AWS to Hetzner and reduced the costs by 66%.

We didn't pick them, it's the result of the sum of its contributors' DevScore. And we calculate the DevScore taking into account your contributions, the reputation of your projects and the reputation of the people you work with.

I'm sorry, my question was ambiguous. I'm not asking how the list was generated. I'm asking how the person my comment was in reply to, who criticized it as being too ruby heavy, decided to base his criticism on the top 9 elements of the top 10 list instead of basing it on all 10.

The natural sample would have been all 10 items in the top 10. Cutting it off at the rather weird 9, especially considering that the 10th is not a ruby item, gives the appearance that he massaged the data to support his position.

The screen grab in the blog post only shows the top 9.

The service pulls info from self hosted repos as well as long as they use git, svn, cvs or hg.

In addition, we actively track projects from forges like Github, Bitbucket, Apache, Java.net, Google Code, etc.

Yes, we could rank non registered members, but we prefere not to use data from people that don't participate on Masterbranch.

They are! The ones that are self hosted are in the leader board too. (And if there's not, you can suggest it and add it).

The idea that it's necessary for an open source project to fill out a form and register with the awesome authority is... weird.

I understand what you're trying to do, but I think this (and similar efforts) are a net negative. Sorry.

Visitors can't contact users which are not registered. We did it in the past, but you're right, it was classy, and we changed it. http://blog.masterbranch.com/post/3570253595/were-listening-...

The project page is under review and we'll link to the original page for sure.

From your blog post: "Unclaimed profiles are now NOINDEX. We’ve also changed profile URLs so that indexed profiles by search engines will start being de-indexed."

Not true--your contentless scrape of my github project is the second result for that project name in google. I just made the project yesterday, so it's not a case of the project being already in an index.

I don't want to "claim" my project--it already has hosting, a mechanism for contacting me, and an issue tracker.

By "profiles" I meant user profiles, not project pages... as I have already said, this pages need to be improved, and the aim is not to supply the original page but to complement it.

We used Campfire at Masterbranch until we discovered Talker. We're keeping our old account ($6 a month) just because of the private rooms.
