There seem to be a lot of third party, unofficial resources or utilities for PFS out there that I occasionally run across, that don't seem to have a central link or connection. I figured I should check the general discussion to see what's out there.
Is there any resource that can help to track credit earned by player and character? For example, a few years back when I played both local game day and in a home group, I kept a spreadsheet that would track sanctioned content, if a PC had played or GM'd it, and grouped PCs by our home group of players. I moved it up to Google Docs at one point, but it left something to be desired.
I've been thinking about scaling that approach onto the net in both depth (allowing scanned chronicle sheet archival, replayable scenario credit tracking, etc.) and breadth (one player to multiple groups) that a common group --say a home group or a FLGS group-- can add members that commonly attend and check who has played what to help with event planning. But, to avoid redundant effort, I'm curious whether there is a public tracking system where you can set up groups and track whether a PFS # has played and/or GM'd a scenario, whether the scenario is replayable, and so on. I've tried a few times to see whether the Paizo session reporting on a given non-me player's PC is public, and I've never found a way to see another user's characters' reported session history.

There isn't, but that's an excellent idea. I've been wanting to see a central spot where the online community could do what we do for a long time, but progress is slow. There's some areas that are more commonly accepted than others (like warhorn), but nothing that's really universally fantastic - all have flaws.
The one I use (on pfrpg.com.au) has a tracker that lets you tick off scenarios you've played and scenarios you've GM'd, and then you can do things like:
- see what scenarios a particular player (but not character) has played, by username
- see what scenario options are available after selecting a GM and players (all by username), and this includes options to only show scenarios that the GM hasn't run before and/or only show scenarios that the GM has played before.
pathfindersocietyonline.com is an excellent resource for introducing new players to online PFS, worth mentioning.
