Hey all,
Inspired by a comment from Shae Erisson, I added a little 5 line script to darcs-graph[1], to display the commit activity of _remote_ darcs repositories.
Here are the activity graphs for a selection of projects in the community:
http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~dons/images/commits/community/
The graphs show, for instance, ghc activity back to 1996.
This might be useful to quickly work out what's going on in the community. If you're interested in hacking something up, using this data, ping me :) A page showing hot projects, for example...
I hacked up a larger script. More projects graphed: http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~dons/images/commits/community/ Let me know if you have an active project you want displayed. My vague hope is that this will help people work out what needs work on, and what is taking off. -- Don
