You can finally create multiple stacks and name them appropriately. For example, you might want to have your own "dev box" stack and a "home web server" stack.
Also, we've added a widget to let you share with everyone what open source software you use. As an example, here's Ohloh's stack:
We've updated the stack engine and UI to make it easier to manage them. We'd love to see the stack widgets in the wild, so let us know if there's anything we could add to make them better.
A few weeks ago we quietly launched Ohloh classifieds. The goal was to be able to make a little money for ourselves (we gotta eat) and to help folks make a little money from their open source efforts.
We have two categories of classifieds:
-Services: If you provide services for an open source project or projects, you can list yourself or your company for free. The purpose is to give folks a little more exposure than they might otherwise get on their own sites.
-Jobs: If you're looking to hire somebody, we're looking to help you. This service costs $75 and the listing will run for three months.
All listings will rotate as small placements on our project report pages.
One last thing, if you would like to run Ohloh classifieds on your site, you can do that. Contact us at info@ohloh.net and we'll be happy to tell you more.

You can now specify a human-readable url name for any project. Say goodbye to http://www.ohloh.net/projects/3141 and say hello to http://www.ohloh.net/projects/linux.
Names are reserved on a first-come basis, but we will manually adjust it if people squat well-known names. Use the 'edit project summary' option in the sidebar to change it.
Finally, for obvious reasons, we will always remember past url names for a project, even if someone changes it to something new. The old names will simply redirect to the newer one. That way urls should always resolve (and remain permanent).
We've been seeing more Ohloh widgets in the wild lately. Here's a few examples...
By popular demand, we're now live on IRC. Drop by on irc.freenode.net in #ohloh.
