[FM Discuss] special preview

[Michael McAndrew]

Hey there,

It worked for me.  Looks very great.

Did you think about putting the chapters / sections on the vertical axis and
having the people as different colours?  IMO deciding what to put on the
axis depends on what question you want to answer.

I think the current format is good for questions like 'What did people do on
different days?" and other questions where the emphasis is on participants
and the social side of the sprint.  Having the book structure on the
vertical is better to answer questions like "What sections did we start with
and which ones haven't got any love / which ones do we need to do" and other
questions where the emphasis is on the content and structure of the book.

Obviously both questions are important in different situations but for me,
the structure view is more useful during a sprint.  I am wondering if we
could create both views and be able to switch between them?

PS. I did a couple of videos recently using gource that showed 7 years
civicrm development.  I made two, one which had directory names (good for
looking at the code) and one which only had the names of committers (good
for concentrating on the community).
