Ask HN: Tool for tracking open-source contributions?

2 points by billboebel 15y ago ↗ HN

Has anyone seen a good tool for keeping track of employee code contributions to open source projects? We (rackspace) have hundreds of developers contributing code to all sorts of projects and I'm looking for a tool that will make it easy for our developers to self report what they contribute. If it doesn't exist we'll write one, but basically our product and legal teams want a log of this stuff for various reasons.

Ohloh may not be exactly what you want, but it's similar; you can look up a particular contributor and see where they are contributing.

Here's an example person, chosen somewhat randomly:

Thanks. Ohloh looks like what I'm looking for. Will check it out.

Even I've been looking for a good product that does this! The only one I've found so far is http://www.ohloh.net

As an example take a look at my contributions to Rails: http://www.ohloh.net/p/rails/contributors/146029001134 and my profile: http://www.ohloh.net/accounts/rohitarondekar

It does more then keep track of contributions but that's the most useful feature at ohloh at present.
