Someone recently delicioused Michael Ogawa’s code_swarm project. It provides neat little visualisations of all the commits to a source code repository, focussing on interactions between all the different committers. It turned out to be quite easy to create a Jira code swarm. The project is open source with some pretty good instructions. It uses the […]
