Hi,
On Ohloh.net we have only 14 official users ([1]), while mingw has
nearly 300 and Wine more than 1000...
I think we should do our best to improve our user count there, because
Ohloh became somewhat important in the OSS world.
If you try to add MinGW-w64 to it and you type "mingw" because you're
lazy, you'll get a long list of projects. And while "mingw-w64-dgn" is
available in that list, MinGW-w64 is not.
Only if you add a hyphen ("mingw-") you'll find MinGW-w64 in the list -
at the end of the list.

I first though it's a chicken-egg problem: Having only 14 people marking
us as "I use this" makes Ohloh think we're not that popular.
But mingw-w64-dgn only has one user and is more visible in the list....

Tasks:
* I just changed the Ohloh project name from "MinGW-w64 - for 32 and 64
bit Windows" to "MinGW-w64", because the help on it says "Please use as
short a name as possible."
* We should highlight a button on the website, e.g. "I Use It - Simple"
from [2]
* Collect other ideas to improve the situation
