While the algorithm is still being tuned and maemo team is adding more
karma calculation plugins, you can see the current "top contributors"
list in:

http://maemo.org/profile/list

Karma (with details on where it came from) is available in a profile
page. For example:

http://maemo.org/profile/view/bergie

Your own karma is also in:

https://maemo.org/profile/

There will be recount every night, so once you have linked your
garage, bugzilla, maemo.org and mailing list accounts together (mostly
by using a consistent email address everywhere), your stats will start
to show up nicely.

Comments welcome, as always :-)

PS: The karma system was developed as a quite generic Midgard module.
See the logic in
http://trac.midgard-project.org/browser/trunk/midcom/net.nehmer.account

Plugins can be developed independently of the actual module and we're
happy to receive ideas of potential karma data sources.
