Thanks for the feedback. I think we can do a better job of telling folks what makes up their score. The exact algorithm does change, but general guidelines about what percentage comes from code, what from Stack Overflow, etc., and maybe what weighs most heavily in the code equation would be a good thing. Working on some tweaks to the "about" section of the site this weekend, so we'll try to incorporate a few of these things.

FYI - Code is king. Most of the score comes from code contributions, and forks and watchers are much more important than followers. :)
