FLOSSmole gets mentioned in a nice little article in a US trade magazine called Information Week. The article is about how to differentiate open source "winners and losers". With a proper shout out to
Open BRR and the Business Readiness Rating, which is more like what the article is
really about, here is the excerpt:
How To Tell The Open Source Winners From The LosersBy Charles Babcock

You can browse the sql version of the FLOSSmole
database schema in CVS on Sourceforge, OR you can check the
schemaspy-generated view of the schema. The CVS version is updated less often than the schemaspy version. I'll try to run a schemaspy view every few months and overwrite the old one.

FLOSSmole now includes data from the FSF (Free Software Foundation) directory (
original directory link).
The flat files including the data can be found on
our FSF sourceforge file release page.
Some facts of note:
--the FSF directory contains 5226 projects
--the FSF directory allows projects with case-sensitive but otherwise identical names, i.e.
ANT and
ant are considered different projects

We've released the January 2007 files for Freshmeat, Objectweb, and Rubyforge.
In February, look forward to the next Sourceforge release, as well as a new feature: "All Time Stats" for Sourceforge!

December data has been released. But first, some informational updates.
1. Project_indexes (the table where sourceforge web pages are stored) is now set to use the UTF-8 encoding. This is to address the concerns about character sets and corruption in our storage of Sourceforge project home pages.
2. The "forges" table is now in use. We have 5 forges, as follows:
0 - TE - test
1 - SF - Sourceforge
2 - FM - Freshmeat
3 - RF - Rubyforge
4 - OW - Objectweb
The datasources table now shows which forge the datasource is pulled from. The join column between the "forges" and "datasources" tables is "forge_id".
3. December data has been released for Sourceforge (SF), Objectweb (OW), RF (Rubyforge), FM (Freshmeat). Get the files on Sourceforge as follows:
-- All projects, SF, FM, OW, RF
link-- Sourceforge, December
link (Datasource_id = 38)
-- Freshmeat, December
link (Datasource_id = 41)

There are 2 types of "home pages" for projects on Sourceforge:
1. A project's summary page. This is not a real home page, but sometimes people call it one. It lives on the SF servers and it has the URL format
http://sf.net/projects/projectname, where "projectname" is replaced by the actual name of the project. In our system, we call this address "url", and it's located in the projects table.
2. A request came in this week for us to parse out the "real" home pages of a project. There are 2 types of home pages:
a. Homepages that live on the shell.sf.net servers and give a project a URL like this:
http://projectname.sf.netb. Homepages that live on some other server and are not hosted by SF in any way.
I wrote a parser for these "real urls" today and created a new column in the projects table called "real_url" to hold this data. I then released files in
the sfRawData package for August 2006 and October 2006 showing these "real urls". Remember that real urls are reported by the project administrators. For the vast majority of projects, the URL is of type "a" above. But for some projects who have as their type "b" this may be of assistance in tracking down additional info about these projects.
