regarding country settings for committers

[Danny Allen]

Hi Vinesh (sent separately), Alexander,
The data that the statistics are generated from has not been updated in a couple of years now (since the pre-Enzyme Digest series actually). However, a couple of months ago I worked on re-implementing the data collection system, and I did "finish" this:

http://commit-digest.org/data/

Enter your details and it will email you an access code where you can manage your data.
However, I was also working with a research student to attach a survey to this interface, and we were going to announce the two together for maximum impact. The student has been busy and delayed though, so I have not announced this yet.

But, do feel free to update your data - the student should get back to me in a couple of weeks so we can get a better data picture again.

Cheers,
Danny

Subject: regarding country settings for committers

Just today I had contact with Vishesh Handa regarding a feature article for the Digest. He mentioned that he suspects that his 
country settings for the statistics of the Digest are wrong, because India seems underrepresented even when he codes a lot. 
He would like to know how he can change his country settings?

I remember this was talked about on the list many monts ago, but could you please refresh our minds regarding this issue 
Danny? Besides this question from Vishesh, I wonder if I/we can do anything to make the statistics for the Commit Digest 
more complete? For example if I look at country statistics for the last Digest as a list, 45% is unknown (maybe that's also the 
cause of your problem, Vishesh?), similar for the commit demographics statistics.

If it's necessary maybe we could get this information by manually e-mailing developers or looking up from which country they 
are by using search engines? Might take a day or more to that for all developers, but now it's vacation time anyway.
