I should mention that as a Sourceforge developer I complained that their Trove categorisation for developer skills had a list of programming languages which did not include Ocaml. I was informed recently that this system has been changed, so that a more general categorisation is now used, which does include Ocaml as a skills category (via the programming languages category which did include Ocaml). This note from the Sourceforge site therefore includes my complaint as a feature request, and I believe the changes they have done have resulted in a satisfactory fix. "Software Map, Trove, Skills, Project Help Wanted: An initiative has been completed to review and process all outstanding RFEs (Requests for Enhancement, Feature Requests) related to addition of categories to the Trove system, used for developer skills, the Software Map and the Project Help Wanted systems. More than 200 requests have been reviewed and processed, resulting in a more complete, well-managed category set within the Trove system. Further, a process has been put in to place for the regular review and processing of future requests for new Trove categories. Projects are encouraged to review the categorization of their projects to ensure it is listed in places that end-users would go to look for software of that type."
