There are many tools to track open source game projects' code repositories: http://www.ohloh.net/ , http://cia.vc/ and host-specific tools but no way to view or compare all foss game projects. Is there use for comparing repositories at all?

I stylized planet (the software we use for planet and devplanet) and added a few cia.vc feeds. What do you think?

Update: FGD Revision Control Planet

It looks nice and I think it will be fun to follow.
Maybe a "more" link at the end of the message to expand the message so you can read more/the complete message?

I am now investigating how to visualize this stuff..

Here is a view of the planet when it shows all commits (up to 30) per project during the last 24 hours:

http://qubodup.net/fgdrcp/index30.html

confusing no?

My main source for inspiration on visualizing will be probably https://github.com/blog/39-say-hello-to ... visualizer

Looks rather good, I'd like to see this in addition to FGDPlanet

Here are 3 horrible mockups made in Inkscape. Don't worry. None of these could become the final version.

Do like the idea but what would you use for drawing the graph ? The one mentioned in github.com seems to use flash which would not be a good idea I guess, there are quite a few comments given therein. Overall like the idea of visualization.

I took a step back and investigated simple lists a little more (getting into twitter helped liking list more I think).

That looks very nice, but it'd be useful to see what commit belongs to what project, I mean it was hard to refresh in my memory Unknown Horizon icon

The project name gets shown when mouse hovers over the icon. Would that be enough?

Here's a demo (not getting updated) http://qubodup.net/rcsp-demo/index30.html

I'm not sure what goal have you got creating this planet.
Comparing repos? Not sure it is convenient in its today's design. Well, showing a name of a project when mouse hovers over the icon is better than nothing, but in my view it is still a bit messy. These icons are rather small and the list is too long to be able to compare something.
What do you think about it?
However, I really appreciate your work, it collects useful information for geeks

To be honest, I have no idea what this might be useful for.

Moativate developers by having a real-time listing of their activity, along with other's activity?

Give contributors an overview of what projects are being developed actively?

Maybe this point is right.
Anyway, it can be a useful way to store commit logs in one place too.

Here's a version with names in the table.

http://qubodup.net/rcsp-demo/index.html

feels cluttered.

I would move the icons to the left of the names, maybe the "clutterness" is removed then...

Now it looks better and can even be usable to look for updates

http://qubodup.net/rcsp-demo/indexINC.html
or
http://qubodup.net/rcsp-demo/indexINcc.html
?

PS: is this feed all right? http://qubodup.net/rcsp-demo/atom.xml

PPS: don't subscribe, this is just test ground.

The first version is much better IMO. (EDIT: just to be clear, I mean http://qubodup.net/rcsp-demo/indexINC.html )
As for the feed, looks okay from here, but I'd say 20 or so items would do :D

In my view, http://qubodup.net/rcsp-demo/indexINC.html is better.
Not sure if that feed is ok, because I don't use feeds, but may be it is a good time to start doing it?

I second sireus and KroArtem.
The feed looks right IMO; I just don't know whether it may still need some visual enhancement...

Visual enhancements to the atom feed?

I added icons to it. Can't imagine anything else to add.

Or are you talking about the planet (html page of the feed aggregator)

The FGD Revision Control Planet is up!

15 minutes update interval.

Nice!
Two problems though:
1) The feed (http://planetrev.freegamedev/atom.xml) forwards to the www. subdomain, which doesn't exist.
2) It might not be obvious that the icons link to the project sites.

Looks rather good, only one question: how many projects does this planet control?
