Yeah, I'd like Gump to be that also. I started this work 'cos I wanted 'FOG Factor', for that purpose, and the rest just happened... > - Stats and Xref...

It would be nice to have some > stats about that (connection success/failure rate, lag time) Yup. I added 'work done on repository' in an attempt to make elapsed time and success/failure apparent. It was a cheap way to start what you are sugesting. I would like to get statistics on performance (and failures) of repositories some time. > - I like the FOG factor, although individual numbers and a formula reminder would > be useful (for google-impaired users...)

Ok, add both per-module and per-project.

Degrees of separation? I love the ideas, I wish I knew how to implement then. regards, Adam --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
