Announcing OSSmole: a new project to collect, organize, and mine open source project data, including Sourceforge data. The goal is to provide the spidering scripts and data in raw and summarized formats. Having a central repository for data about open source projects should be helpful to both researchers and developers working in the open source community.

This project (scripts and data) is itself an open source project, and can be found at http://ossmole.sf.net. Chat about ossmole on irc.yuggoth.org, channel: #ossmole
