    Topic: Introducing Ohloh Journaling

    Jason, I'm eager to see Ohloh roll out all these new features. I second JavaWoman's request of a proper API. The reason is the following. Now that you are building clients to interact in real time with the Ohloh DB, I see a number of potential extensions that would make the Ohloh bots much more powerful, were there an actual API to program against.

    You could then query the Ohloh bot from Jabber, IRC or Eclipse not just to retrieve journal information but also fresh project and/or developer information. E.g. where is this user located or under what license is this project distributed or even what's the main URL of this project.

    OK this maybe sounds like science fiction, just tossing my 2p in.

    @Jason that's brilliant - http://twitter.com/ohl now has {its|his|her} first follower: http://twitter.com/marjoleink

    Maybe you could set up something like having a field for Twitter (etc..??) account in your profile and then @ohl could start following those (or just use their API); that way you'd have a reasonable way to limit it to Ohloh users. Or ask for some verification code maybe.

    So... pretty soon, when waiting for a train I have this brilliant idea for #WikkaWiki, type it into my phone, send it to Twitter - and it will appear here. Who needs a desk? :D

    Of course _my_ little program is waiting for an available timeslot, too, so no hurry - a little brainstorming is fine for now.

    @JavaWoman - makes perfect sense. I went to Twitter and reserved the "ohl" account as a preliminary precaution.

    In this case, we could possibly do the bridging for you: just message @ohl <...> on Twitter and we'd handle "bridge it over" (assuming you tell ohloh what your twitter account it). Sounds fun!

    I have a lengthy work list ahead of me so this won't happen automatically for a while, but I'll keep noodling on this idea. Thanks for the insight.

    Topic: Step 2 of 3: Importing source code into database (Failed)

    Hi uzytkownik,

    Our git importer can be flaky - I'll reschedule these ones. We're working on a general solution but for now, I'm afraid, it requires some manual intervention! Thanks for your patience.

    @Jason, I'd just do my own "bridging". I'd prefix a tweet with a code (say 'ohl:') and my program would pick up only those updates (minus prefix) to send on to Ohloh. What it boils down to then is that I type it only in one location (Twitter) but if I make the decision it should go to Ohloh as well, I'd add the prefix. So whether I type here, or in Twitter, it's still my decision that it's content for Ohloh (as well).

    What I type in Twitter would be all my things, I'll only filter some of that (by prefix) to also go to another destination (another I have in mind would be updating my Travel Blog from my phone via Twitter ;)).

    My Twitter update "Sunny this afternoon" might then appear in my Travel blog (if appropriately prefixed), but not in Ohloh.

    Clear as mud?

    @JavaWoman: Regarding an API. We will have an API to post & manage your journal entries. The hang-up right now is simply because our current API infrastructure was not setup to really "impersonate" anyone - it's more of an official scraping mechanism.

    Now that we have content that we hope/expect people to update regularly, we need to incorporate "authorization". Right now I'm leaning towards moving us towards OAuth for specifically this reason.

    Lastly I am very eager to see maximum integration with other tools (IRC, IDE's, etc...). I am a little concerned with bridging from Twitter, however, for the same reasons u mentioned above: how to ensure our content stays technical/relevant?

    Twitter is fairly context-free, and while many people tend to post Ohloh-relevant entries, I am wary of random stuff showing up here (e.g: "latte is scalding hot!", "sunny this afternoon", etc..

    Thoughts?
