In fact, perhaps I saw a simple post in a website RSS feed I'm subscribed to but I didn't take a look at it before I saw Matthias' blog post. The truth is I like the tool. If I wanted privacy, I wouldn't have set up a domain name (full true whois info as mandated by law), I would never have done any OSS work at all. After all, all is done in the open, that's the way OSS works. Yes, Ohloh is really painting a partial profile (as only some projects are recorded, only some VCS are supported, no bugzilla activity or translations or documentation is taken into account. Perhaps an opt out system would please people that are mad at this site. Anyway, Google Code Search would do the same. It only makes it easier.
