It looks cool already :). If you provide some flash file or a version uploaded somewhere, I will include it in the blog :). Cheers, Doru On 4 Mar 2009, at 23:34, Francois Stephany wrote:

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): http://www.tulipemoutarde.be/documents/mooseDevMovie.avi 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 [1] http://vis.cs.ucdavis.edu/~ogawa/codeswarm/ _______________________________________________ Moose-dev mailing list Moose-dev(a)iam.unibe.ch https://www.iam.unibe.ch/mailman/listinfo/moose-dev

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 On 4 Mar 2009, at 23:34, Francois Stephany wrote:

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.
