Ohloh.net: the new Advogato.org

Yesterday, Damien Couderc showed me Ohloh.net saying one of our project (which I no longer contribute to anymore -- shame on me) was listed there: Pre Make Kit (PMK).

To me, it looks like another Advogato.org, but brand new and shiny ;)
Although, it has a few more interesting features, such as recognizing your contributions to projects and link them to your profile, a trust metric represented with funny `Kudos' and, a web crawler that monitors project activities, authorship, language usage, and licensing.

Time will tell if the Ohloh.net founders and developers will bring this new kind of software directory a step further than the old (but still good) Advogato.org.
