Ohloh is taking its tracking and ranking tools and opening it up to teams that would like to do the same for their own developers. The open source directory already offers rankings of the nation's top open source coders, but now you'll be able to let other developers use its technology in order to track their own open source team of coders, reports VentureBeat. Access the new tools from Ohloh Labs here.
[img src="" caption="" credit="" alt=""]It's a useful tool that many may want to employ for their own purposes, but it's also a tool that some would liken to Slife, when compared directly to tools designed for tracking work within a team environment. As Ohloh explains, Ohloh will release Ohcount, which is a command line tool and library that counts up lines of source code and subsequently analyzes the language of that source code. The lines of code contributed by a single developer are counted by Ohcount, so you can see the performance of each developer, and you can track their progress. Ohcount supports 35 languages, including C/C++, Java, Ruby, HTML and XML.
