This includes any form of data that can be represented as a set of entities (or nodes) possibly connected by any number of relations (or edges). Examples of data supported by prefuse include hierarchies (organization charts, taxonomies, file systems), networks (computer networks, social networks, web site linkage) and even non-connected collections of data (timelines, scatterplots). Using this toolkit, developers can create responsive, animated graphical interfaces for visualizing, exploring, and manipulating these various forms of data. |

- [ via Planet Debian ] Manoj Srivasta describes the decline of consensus in the Debian project. It's interesting to me that he describes some structural contributions to this problem (the constitution and the general resolution process). The solution he proposes is for people to remember who they are and why they are there, which I think is important. But I'm not sure how effective that can be if there a structural problems. Good structure can't guarantee that good things will happen, but bad structure will definitely prevent good things from happening and often causes bad things to happen. |
