As the number of
developers and projects have grown on Google Code, we've started thinking about how to get
projects to learn from and work with each other. Today, we're happy to announce that we have
made a few steps towards that goal.
First, we've added user update
streams to make it easy to see what a particular user has been doing across Project hosting on
Google Code. As an example, take a look at Ben Collins-Sussman's activities
on his profile page. Ben works on Google Code, but it's obvious that he has other interests as
well.
In addition, tracking open source projects and other developers
is as easy as starring a project or a developer profile. Starring a project or developer adds
a link in your new "Starred Projects" and "Starred Developers" section of your profile page,
making it really easy to find those projects or developers again. Starred projects are also
added to the new "My projects" drop-down, which makes it easy to navigate to a project from
anywhere on the site.
Once a project or a developer is starred, all
updates from starred projects and developers can be tracked by looking at your personalized
updates.
For
those that prefer to use their feed reader, use the following new
feeds:
Updates for a user -
http://code.google.com/feeds/u/{username}/updates/user/basic
Developers a
user is tracking -
http://code.google.com/feeds/u/{username}/updates/projects/basic
Projects
