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.
Even I've been looking for a good product that does this! The only one I've found so far is <a href="http://www.ohloh.net" rel="nofollow">http://www.ohloh.net</a><p>As an example take a look at my contributions to Rails: <a href="http://www.ohloh.net/p/rails/contributors/146029001134" rel="nofollow">http://www.ohloh.net/p/rails/contributors/146029001134</a> and my profile: <a href="http://www.ohloh.net/accounts/rohitarondekar" rel="nofollow">http://www.ohloh.net/accounts/rohitarondekar</a><p>It does more then keep track of contributions but that's the most useful feature at ohloh at present.
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.<p><a href="http://www.ohloh.net/" rel="nofollow">http://www.ohloh.net/</a><p>Here's an example person, chosen somewhat randomly:<p><a href="http://www.ohloh.net/accounts/meyering" rel="nofollow">http://www.ohloh.net/accounts/meyering</a>
