This three maps are +different from the previous one. This time, instead of having a big +photography of the distributions and authors on the CPAN, Task::Kensho +have been used to obtain a representation of what we call the *modern +Perl*. + +** distributions map + +Task::Kensho acted as the seed for this map. Task::Kensho contains a +list of modules recommended to do modern Perl development. So we +extracted the modules that have a dependancie toward one of these +modules, and create the graph with this data. + +** authors map + +The authors listed on this map are the one from the previous map. There +is a far less authors thant the previous authors map, but it's more +readable. A lot of informations are on the map : label size, node size, +edge size, color of the node. + +** web communities map + +This map look a lot like the previous one, as we used nearly the same +data. The seed have been extended with a few websites only. + +** cpan-explorer + +CPAN Explorer is now hosted on a wordpress, so you can leave comments or +suggestions for new maps you would like to see (a focus on web +development modules, tests::* module, etc ...). All the new maps are +also searchable, and give you a permalink for you search +([[http://cpan-explorer.org/2009/07/28/new-web-communities-map-for-yapceu/#dist%3Dlumberjaph.net][I'm +here]] and +[[http://cpan-explorer.org/2009/07/28/version-of-the-authors-graph-for-yapceu/#author%3Dfranck][here]]) + +I will give a talk at the +[[http://yapceurope2009.org/ye2009/talk/2061][YAPC::EU]] about this +work. Also, each map have been printed, and will be given for the +auction. + +This work is a collective effort from all the guys at +[[http://rtgi.fr/][RTGI]] (antonin created the template for wordpress, +niko the js and the tools to extract information from the SVG for the +searchable map, julian helped me to create the graphs and extract +valuable informations, and I got a lot of feedback from others +coworkers), thanks guys!. |
