List the type of project ( python/ruby/whatever..)

It might be nice to add this to the project detail and project pages

[reinbach]

Should we pull that from the repo via the api? Doesn't github have this indicated, not sure we can get it via the api, but it has not always been accurate. Or should we have the user adding the project indicate/mark/select the major language used?

[kencochrane]

I was thinking maybe we should have folks add a file like they do for travis and coveralls

a .scorinator.yml file in the root of their repo and in that file we can have them put in some things, how to run tests, language, where is license file, etc. if they don't have it, we can guess, but might not have accurate results.

[reinbach]

yes definitely a .yml file, don't we already have that hook?

also are we going to allow multiple languages for this field?

[kencochrane]

don't think we have that hook yet, but i'm sure we can add it pretty easily.

I would say we have them enter the primary programming language, if it is a webapp built in python, but they also have javascript, css, html, that is still a python app.

sounds good
