My understanding is EKG has been ported to python... you should look into that as the basis for mailinglist data mining. I've been sitting on a python based apache access log parser that Ive been meaning to push into fedorahosted git as "EEG" It was meant as a pythonic extensible replacement for the map making so we can eventually do crap like hook it into the turbogears based infrastructure. I can punt that over for you and let you run with it and see if you can build it up further. But honestly TG is way over my head at the monent. What I do my heavy analysis lifting with is matplotlib, but that might not be most appropriate for scripted Fedora data mining long term...not for visualization at least. You might want to ping luke macken and see how he creates the graphs for bodhi's web interface and what the plans are for data visualization widgets for Fedora Community. If he can spin up simple line,bar, and pie graphs widgets that we can plug data into that should cover most trending needs. I'd like a better solution for maps than matplotlib that integrates with the TG infrastructure but I don't know what that would be. I'm willing to help implement Fedora Community widget sets once someone more experienced than myself points me to reasonable candidate visualization toolkits....i know enough about matplotlib to know its too heavy of a hammer for this. Beyond that, we should definitely look at using code swarm and make videos of different types of contribution. Like a code swarm of wiki edits or mailinglist activity and other such contribution where we can hang a username off the activity. -jef _______________________________________________ fedora-advisory-board mailing list fedora-advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-advisory-board
