Project Highlights on Charts

By on November 17, 2011 in blog

In our latest deployment of Ohloh, we now display project highlights on the code analysis graph.

For example, below shows when Groovy was first introduced to the Spring Framework.

We show a highlight when

  • A top contributor joins or leaves a project
  • A new language is detected
  • A project has been idle (no commits) for over a year
  • The project receives its initial comment
  • The project receives a large commit (only recent commits will be shown)

We’ve also updated the graphs to display a timeline at the bottom to make it easier to zoom in and out.

    COBOL is obviously not considered a language any more!

    Very nice!

    It’s nice for projects that have a rich/long history, but for recent projects, it makes it harder to grasp. Example: https://www.ohloh.net/p/Shaarli

    The default dates are 2011-08-31 -> 2011-10-01. The latest commit known to Ohloh right now is on 2011-10-18, however for some reason it’s impossible to change the upper date (either before or after 2011-10-01), while the start date can change (albeit in a rather strange way if you use the bars on the bottom, if you take it all the way to the right, it will sometime set itself to 2011-09-05, then 2011-09-15, then back to 2011-09-13, etc…)

    Is this the intended behavior?

    This is all great, but could you consider adding support for those of us with Javascript disabled most of the time? Generating near-equivalent graph image, even in draft quality, would be nice. All I see now is combobox and an empty white area.

    keep up the good work. Looking forward to seeing more improvements and enhancements.

    Very Nice!
    Which chart API do you used? Have you developped it from scratch?

    @pflo we’re using HighCharts JS https://www.ohloh.net/p/highcharts for the project page charts. Glad you like them!
