The developer of jogger kind of dropped out or lost interest in that
code. However it is in CVS:

You could fork it or ask to take it over.

Sounds cool. You might want to start your own rather than use Jogger,
though.

You might want to investigate integrating with SourceID:

http://www.sourceid.org/

There might be folks on this list who have poked around there as well.
