Hi,
I don't know if the terminology is the proper one. Anyway I'm trying to
plot a "time line" of the history of a project which is stored on [1]
and [2] (after rebranding) and also of the commits to documentation on
[3] using Pharo/Roassal.
[1] http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~Offray/Ubakye/
[2] http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~Offray/Grafoscopio/
[3] http://mutabit.com/deltas/repos.fossil/grafoscopio/timeline?n=200
Given I don't know any API of the sites, I thought it would be easier by
scraping the data on the web pages and the using it into Roassal, but
after testing some solutions on python, I came back to pharo to see if I
can made everything on it, including the data collection.
For [1] and [2] I think that is possible to send a message to Monticello
to show all commits of a specific package (like it actually does from
the UI) and export them with the information about date of commit for
all commits. For [3] I'm thinking in using some combination of Zinc with
Soup[4] despite of the lack of tutorials.

So here are my questions:
- There is any way to say to Monticello to export all commits dates and
times for a specific package?
- There is any advised scraping strategy for getting the same
information from the web page at [3]?
The plot I would like to do is similar to the one of the ebola example
at [5], but using high as number of commits and x axis as dates.

Any help is welcomed, as always.
