OneBody Worst Project EVAR (Almost)

I missed it a few weeks ago (new baby boy!), but OneBody made it to third on the list of Worst Project EVAR in the world of Flog. Google Alerts finally brought it to my attention today. What the heck is flog? It's a Ruby code complexity analyzing tool I think. I've never used it. I was excited about the free press, until I realized it was OneBody version 0.3.0 that was listed. What? Several points to make here:

  • 0.3.0 was a bogus release I had up on RubyForge for like a couple of hours I think.
  • 0.3.0, in the timeline of OneBody development, was February. That's a long time in open source development world -- especially on a non-dead project.
  • This was back when we vendored Rails and several other goodies. You know, before Rails 2.1 was released.
So, current OneBody code flogs in at about 27,000, whatever that means. Update: It turns out 0.3.0 was the latest release still hanging out on Rubyforge mirrors, even though I had removed it long ago. I have sent a support request to Rubyforge to get all OneBody gems removed from the mirrors.
