Retreiving contributors collection for specific project
Developers at the RubyCampus project are really digging Ohloh.
Any advice on retrieving contributor information in a collection similar to whats found here
We intent to embed the results as a Ruby macro within RedMine.
Admittedly, I just started looking at the API so it may be plenty clear. But never hurts to ask before diving in.
We are doing something similar with our translators repo and plan to pull and sort translators by greatest commits historically.
This is already in place as well on our Pootle server and would use the same method to render.
Any thoughts?

Hi Kevin,
Yes, in fact this exact page is available in XML format via the API. Simply add a .xml extension to the URL, then add your api_key as an http param. So, for example:
http://www.ohloh.net/projects/rubycampus/contributors.xml?api_key=xxxxx
Let me know if you have any trouble getting the API to work.

Excellent,
Do you have a repo (github) I can fork to contribute our Ruby code snippets so others can use it as we have written a lot of different hooks, even for Apple Keynote Presentations -- see page 11 keynote completely automated from updating screens -> PDF -> uploading to Scribd. Look mah, no humans.
