Plone Code Swarms Demonstrate Community Vitality
"Code swarms" are visualizations of contributions to open source projects over time. Looking at a code swarm is an excellent way to gauge the freedom and growth of a software community.
Code swarm visualizations of Plone's three primary software repositories display the nicknames of contributors throughout the timelines of the software projects. Surrounding each emergent nickname are color-coded beacons representing the number of code "check-ins" for the contributor at each point in time. A color legend explains the type of files checked into the repository for each beacon.
