Hey there,<br><br>It worked for me. Looks very great.<br><br>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.<br>
<br>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.<br>
<br>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?<br><br>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).<br>

hi,<br>
<br>
There is much to report on from the FM meet up and I am now assembling the minutes.I should have them for the list in the next days. I will first send to everyone that was there to add items if anything is missing.<br>
<br>
ok...so, now a very special preview. As everyone probably knows, the French FM has been very active and when I asked the list a while back for someone to do some RSS visualisation the French FM stepped up. Elisa introduced me to Pierre Commenge and Pierre agreed to work on the RSS visualisation.<br>
<br>
The idea is to try and provide a good visualisation of how books are made. This is a good tool, something very nice to look at, and also potentially it may offer in time some very very valuable research possibilities for analysing the process of how books are actually made.<br>
<br>
Aco is doing some customisation of the RSS output to give Pierre better data to work with but in the meantime Adam Thomas is presenting a preview of Pierres work on this tonight at a presentation about Booki in New York at the Mobility Shifts conference. So, also for the FM list is a special preview...its alpha stage and for our eyes only, but here is (with Pierres blessing) a preview of his work when applied to data produced by Book over a 2.5 hour period during the CiviCRM Book Sprint a few weeks ago...enjoy!:<br>
