Searching OpenHub:

    Go to: https://www.openhub.net/
    In the search space, enter: education
        Notice it tells you how many pages of results there are, not number of projects. By default, there should be 10 projects per page. How many projects were returned?
        -After entering education in search space 347 pages are returned in which the last page contained only three projects. 
         So, in all there are (346*10)+3 = 3463 projects. 

        KDE Education should be the second result. Click on it. Look on the right hand side of the page and click on Code Locations. There are a number of projects listed here. Is any of the code located on GitHub?
        I can see KDE Education at the third position. Yes, as I can see all the codes are located on github only.   
 
        Go back one page. Under the Code Locations, it provides several projects that are Similar. Click on Similar Projects. How many similar projects are listed?
        Scroll down. What information does OpenHub provide about the project? 
        -There are 10 projects listed under similar projects link. after sroll down OpenHub provides information about projects summary, code data, 
         SCM data and community data.
 
    Perform searches for both humanitarian and disaster management.
        How many projects were returned for each search?
        -There are 34 projects under search term Humanitarian and 54 projects under the term Disaster Management.
        
        Click on the Activity icon. Why do so many projects do not have activity information available? 
        -The projects that do not have recent analysis because of problems with their code locations or other problems such as blocking OpenHub 
         from collecting and analyzing code show the "Not Available" icon. Which shows that the number of currrent contributor are zero. 
         That means either the those projects are inactive or blocked of OpenHub. 
    
    Click on Organizations.
        What information is provided on this page? 
        -Organizations tab provides information about the most active organizations such as MediaWiki, mozilla foundation, debian, KDE etc. 
         Organizations that have commit volumes for last 30 days. Statistics by sectors such as public, private, government etc.. and the 
         information about the newest organizations and their projects. 
        
    Search for OpenMRS.
        When was the last commit for OpenMRS Core? 
        -The last commit shown by OpenHub is about 2 months ago on OpenMRS core. 

    Go back to GitHub and search for OpenMRS Core.
        When was the last commit?
        -The last update as per github was 7 days ago. 

        Why do you think these sites have different information? 
        -May be because there is problem with their code locations or some contributor may have blocked Openhub from collecting and analyzing code show. 
 
    What would be the benefits/drawbacks of using both GitHub and OpenHub to search for a project?
    - Benefits: Most of the projects are available on github and Openhub provides all the information related to the project on github 
      as well as on the other available versioning control systems such as bazaar, SVN, CVS etc.    
    - Drawbacks: Using both may create confusions if onpenhub is not completely synched with github.
