CodeFumes.com[http://codefumes.com] is a service intended to help people involved with software projects who are interested in tracking, sharing, and reviewing metrics/information about a project in relation to the commits of said project's repository. The site supports a small set of 'standard' metrics, but also provides a simple method of supplying and retrieving custom metrics, allowing users to gather any metric they are interested in tracking. The 'codefumes' gem is an implementation of the CodeFumes.com[http://codefumes.com] API. The intention of the gem is to simplify integration with CodeFumes.com for developers of other libraries & and applications. For an example of another library using the current features of this gem, you can refer to the 'codefumes_harvester[http://codefumes.rubyforge.org/codefumes_harvester]' gem.
