Hello Robert,
[CC'ing ohloh hoping they will fix the information]

> in case anyone ever doubted they were getting their money's worth.

Most of the data on that page is incorrect:

- The project was started in 2002 (not 2003) and was registered on SF 
  on 2003.

- I did the original import of the code into SF's CVS, but I didn't
  write even a single line of code, though the stats show I've been a
  very active developer (username: nervoso). Please correct that. That
  part of the code belongs almost entirely to "kojm" IIRC.

- The CVS stats show that the CVS code is lacking updates since a month or
  so: au contraire!! Our coders have been committing more and more code
  since we moved to the new cvs server, because it goes down less often. 
  Please update the source repository address.

- From what I could see, the avg. salary is the same for *every* OSS 
  project indexed by Ohloh, so it's been obviously "made up" by Ohloh. 
  They should make clear that the figure is just a placeholder (!!)

- The number of developers doesn't take into account the sigmakers, only
  people committing code to the CVS. This is very unfair for our project! 
  Please refer to www.clamav.net/team.html, that page lists all the people 
  involved in the development of ClamAV (hint: they are more than 4). 
  Once these info are updated, you'll see that our project is getting much
  more than 170 grand!! OMG!!! How could you expect us to *survive* with
  *just* 170k/year? :)


Best regards
