During the “State of SciPy” presentation that Jarrod Millman and I gave this year at the SciPy 2008 Conference, we showed a “code swarm” video that was put together by David Martin and Chris Galvan. It’s a first-of-it’s-kind, because it combines repositories from several projects; namely NumPy, SciPy, Mayavi, Chaco, Traits, and Matplotlib.
Among other things, you can see how the number of people involved and the level of code production has really accelerated over time.
Enjoy!
