The "contribution" percentages are a little funny. They certainly aren't based on lines of code, or number of commits. How is that calculated? Feels weird when you own a project and have done 99% of the work on it, and it says your contribution is 50%.

Can you give me a link to it to the repo in question? It should be the number of commits. Was the initial master branch you used what you uploaded to github? I'm curious as well ....

It appears that it just hadn't finished acquiring the data for the profile. It grabbed a minor, outdated fork rather than the latest version. After some time, it's caught up to the more central fork and more believable percentages.

URLs if it helps: http://www.gitalytics.com/repo/detail/jakewins/olwidget is the repo it got first, http://www.gitalytics.com/repo/detail/yourcelf/olwidget is the more central that it eventually found.

Agree. And the number of followers for a given project appears to be wrong as well.

Check back in a few hours.

Once the "incomplete profile" marker disappears the numbers should be correct. If they are still incorrect, could you do me a favor and send me a link to the repo in question? I'd greatly appreciate it!
