sourceforge[edit]

SourceForge recently caught that Ohloh was aquired.. Still exploring the site and unfamiliar with it until now so I can hardly comment.

Oppose I don't see any reason to merge the two articles more than merging Delicious into Yahoo or YouTube into Google. Moreover, the acquisition was just announced and it's way too early to understand if Ohloh will survive as a service on its own or be integrated into Sourceforge--DarTar (talk) 05:21, 29 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see it as just a purchase, but, as sourceforge stated, the services WILL be merged as well, unlike what happens with the given examples. HuGo_87 (talk) 02:32, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

According to what I'm reading, the services will not be merged, but rather expanded to complement each other.
Note: discussion should be at Talk:SourceForge#Merge Ohloh here, not the Ohloh talk page.
