I got this email from Scot today regarding the official launch of Koders.com.  I've used the site several times since discovering it, so I'm glad to hear it's moving along!!

Hi Sean,

Last November you mentioned Koders.com, the search engine for open source code, on your blog.  I thought you might like to know that this free search tool officially launches on Monday (5/16).  What’s new is that users can currently search over 190 million lines of code from more than 28 thousand projects in hundreds of open source repositories.  It also now recognizes over 30 programming languages and can identify over 20 software licenses.

What you may not have know is that Koders.com also features a unique Project Cost Calculator that presents a side-by-side analysis of leveraging existing code versus developing it from scratch.  Not only does this enable easy assessment of build-versus-buy alternatives, it also provides developers with a quantifiable perspective of their contributions to the open source community.

Anyway, just wanted to give you a head’s-up on this exciting news.
