Hi all,
I'm developing a tool to mine mailing lists in Moose (called Maispion)
In this context, i'm playing with code_swarm[1]. It is a visualization tool that shows the CVS commits history of a project. Here's a *preliminary* video of the Moose mailing list i get from it (tweaked to display emails instead of commits):

I have some ideas to improve it but would like to hear from you if you have any suggestions to make this visualization cooler (or, maybe, even useful :)
Cheers,
Francois
It looks cool already :).
If you provide some flash file or a version uploaded somewhere, I will include it in the blog :).
Cheers, Doru

Hi Francois,
I unsuccessfully tried to read your file with both QuickTime and VLC. An .mpg will be easier I think. QuickTime requests for a new component to be installed and VLC crashes.
Cheers, Alexandre

Hi Francois, maybe would be interesting to display some layout that groups emails into the threads they belong, clustering all the names that are flying around into blobs.

nice. the only thing I'd fix up is the display of the date (currently the year is 2076..). BTW, I recently had a Master student (Marco Primi is his name) implement a small seminar work called "SVN_Crawler" (see http://svncrawler.sourceforge.net/) . It's a command-line tool that also produces code-swarms, given an SVN url. The lesson learned from this small work was that codeswarms are useless when projects are short-lived or small. Mailing lists are a very good target, congrats on the insight! Another hint, even tough not very scientific: adding some music boosts the experience.
Cheers
Michele
