Ohloh.net - Ohloh Goes Open Source

Ohloh is open source. Ohloh is development. Ohloh is community. It aims to provide a new kind of software directory that connects its users through software development and community feedback. Ohloh lets you discover new open source software and share your finds as well as add to others designs and projects. You can do this through Ohloh’s “Stack it” feature. Ohloh already offers an extensive rankings list of the US’s major open source coders. But now Ohloh’s newly opened tracking and ranking tools allows software development teams to track the work of each coder on a team. The to-be-released Ohcount allows users to see how many lines of source code a developer has contributed to a project. Ohcount also analyzes the code, giving you the ability to gauge the performance of a programmer. With Ohloh, you can stay up-to-date on projects anywhere and at anytime.

Ohloh is an open source network that connects people through the software they create and use.

Ohloh is a useful tool for software programmers. It’s efficient and clean interface allows users to discover new software and contribute to old software. Ohloh comes in multiple languages and has plenty of widgets and other goodies to keep everyone happy.

Is Ohloh’s open source re-opening all that it’s made out to be? Tracking and ranking tools are handy, but what makes Ohloh’s offering better than others?
