Jay, Thanks for posting. I had glossed over Craig's post when I saw it didn't really match the Library Library project's description. However, I went back today and checked Ohloh out and it's very nice. In fact, some of the UI stuff needs to be straight up copied for the Library Library.
Thanks for pointing that project out. I'll definitely be adding it to my research arsenal. Daniel Shaw http://dshaw.com On Sep 24, 5:09 pm, "Jay R. Wren" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > WOW!
