Github has an API available as a starting point. If I entered my users name and API key Gitorious could: Collate and present (respecting rate limits): - Convenience links to my Github projects (see badges examples below) - Summary of activity on my Github projects. - Link/info to/about the Gitorious users who can be 'matched' to my Github project's contributors listing For existing use cases see also: https://github.com/drnic/github-badges http://avalon.gnuzifer.de/~heipei/tmp/github-commit-badge/ https://github.com/heipei/github-commit-badge/tree http://enriquez.me/ Unless there is a real issue with its design, it seems that v2 of the Github API is a good starting set of behaviors to replicate. Keeping the API and returned datat structures the same eliminates one more thing to learn.
