It is interesting look at for sure, but there are some discrepancies. For example, looking here at me (kbahey) http://www.ohloh.net/projects/3189/contributors?sort=man_months_reverse&page... I have 2.0 man years, and code total is 1290. However, a few users below me "flow" has 0 code total, with no language listed, but still 1.8 man years. Uwe has 1.8 man years, with 4 code total. John Vandyk has 2.1 man years, but code total is 503. Robert Douglass has 22862 code total, but only 1.9 man years. It becomes weirder when you sort by code total: http://www.ohloh.net/projects/3189/contributors?sort=code_total_reverse There is no obvious place where they explain what these metrics mean or how they are derived. Confusing to say the least.
