Copy edited. Added context. Changed to sentence casing for the title. Used the official names of Stack Overflow - see section "Proper Use of the Stack Overflow and Stack Exchange Name" in http://stackoverflow.com/legal/trademark-guidance (the last section).

Reputation Alerts

About

This application sits in your system tray and periodically checks Stack Overflow for any new badges or reputation. It also displays your current reputation, allows for manual updates, and automatically opens a new tab in your browser and brings you to your user/reputation overview page.

Download

No direct download at the moment. Can be cloned via GitHub.

Platform

Was written and tested on Debian Unstable.

It should theoretically work anywhere Python 2.6 and PyQt 4 is installed (and working). I don't have the ability to test this on other operating systems.

Contact

The easiest way would be to post in this thread or open an issue on GitHub.

Code

This project was written in a few hours the night the Stack Overflow API was announced. There are probably plenty of bugs or bizarre things in the code. Be kind :-)
