At ApacheCon, we discussed creating a project visualization tool to help folks navigation the ever-growing number of projects we have here at the ASF. The idea would be to allow folks to see some form of "tag cloud" or something (with the tags being the projects themselves), but the cloud is interactive, allowing filtering by various dimensions (size of project, age, relationships to other projects, programming language, etc.).
We already have a new projects page in the works: https://projects-new.apache.org/ which displays quite a bit of information. Where do we get that information? Do folks have any other ideas about different ways of browsing/exploring the projects? One idea we have is to lean on TinkerPop (currently incubating) to load the data into a graph structure to allow the data to be easily manipulated (the "gremlin" language allows you to traverse the graph in this way very easily). Thoughts? James Carman
