These visualizations are beautiful. What would make it considerably more interesting would be access to the code so we could run it against our own projects, or perhaps integration into something like http://www.ohloh.net/

There are two code bases you would need, both in python it seems. The first is the visualization itself, and the second is the code that takes a full repository dump and parses it into a normalized postgres database. I actually wrote the latter, with a nod from the professor that paid me some poor undergrad research wage to create it, I could probably publish it.

Yeah, I was disappointed that he didn't have any code up for download.

I would have loved to have run that on corporate SCMs.

I too wanted to do this.

I keep finding my way back there just in case it opens up.
