HN user
My name is Juan Luis Belmonte. I'm from Spain and I'm... System administrator, technology passionate, developer, life enthusiast and a coffee lover. Now working hard in masterbranch.com as a co-founder
WoW did backtype read our minds ? XD just after deploying our devscore I read HN and find this :)
We have released today our DevScore at masterbranch.com based on your github repositories and other forges and also with private code at github with our webhook.
How do backtype calculate the score? we look at files, commits, projects and period of activity. Our total DevScore gives smaller numbers than backtype's.
We have been thinking about StackOverflow info, but we have some doubts about it. How to measure, how to compare it with the code info, etc. We prefer first work with the code, trying to "do one thing a time and do it well". Nevertheless hopefully in a not very long time we will try to start giving tools to improve CVs with non FOSS.

Hi, For the algorithms our inspirational reading was "Programming Collective Intelligence" http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596529321
As all the recommendation algorithms the basis is the text, and dictionaries with technologies, and of course a long time blacklisting words by hand.
We didn't think about ssl but, could be a nice feature. Is already wrote down in our roadmap. I like it.
About http://www.foaf-project.org/ give me some days and I'll put it. I can tell you when this is done through GitHub's message system.
We are really appreciating and considering every ideas all of you are giving here. Thanks a lot.
Hi. We do not have all the projects yet, but they will be there soon.
Glad to hear about you like the idea.
We will add more forges, it is in our roadmap.
Crawling speed depends on the forges and if we have the project info or if is pending to be got for the first time.
Hopefully, the speed will become more stable and new projects, and contributions come up earlier in Masterbranch.
Hi, We now that in the US the most used word is resume, but CV is widely used in the rest of the world.
Hi. We use Play! Framework in production since a year ago.
We have two sites, http://www.masterbranch.com which is a site to manage developer CVs and track your open source experience in your CV. The other one is a network about developers, sysadmins, web designers (this one is in spanish) http://es.debugmodeon.com
We are happy with Play!. It's easy to use, has lots of built-in features and Play! team is also awesome and their work is exquisite.
Cheers
