Welcome

The Small Project Observatory is a web-based visualization framework which was initially aimed at visualizing smalltalk Store repositories.

Recently we started extending to othe types of ecosystems such as the ones that can be found in SVN projects repositories.

The goal of the project is to observe the way whole project repositories evolve, as opposed to single project repositories analyzed by most of software evolution research.

To see a demo of The Small Project Observatory in action, check out the following video (also in HD!)
