I've produced a code_swarm visualization of the first 2+ years of ikiwiki's commit history.

PS, while I'm posting links to videos, here's a video of a lightning talk about ikiwiki.

notes

Interesting things to watch for:

Getting the commit log was tricky because every web commit is in there too, so it has to deal with things like IPs and openids. The code swarm log.pl script will munge the log to handle these, and it was configured with code swarm.config.

Video editing by kino, ffmpeg, ffmpeg2theora, and too many hours of pain.
