[soc-dev] [GSoC 2014] Rich Data Visualization for Developer Statistics

[gsoc <akif8877@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I'm Akif from Germany and I participate in the GSoC 2014 at Code Recommenders. 
I’m working on the project "Rich Data Visualization for Developer Statistic“.

Developer Statistics is an incubator project of Eclipse Code Recommenders that tracks how developers use their Eclipse IDE. 
If you ever wanted to find out how you use code completions or what commands you use most often, Developer Statistics has the answer.

Project description: The goal of this project is to develop a rich visualization of the data collected, 
to enable the developer to drill down and find out how to make more efficient use of the Eclipse IDE's features. 
The already collected data could now be evaluated and displayed graphically in the form of diagrams. 
Thus, the software developers get very interesting metrics about their dealings with Eclipse. 
An example of this would be the activity of the developer in the IDE, on which days (maybe later also for weeks/months) 
they have worked very much and where less. This could be represented in the form of block diagrams.

I have structured my project in the following sub tasks: 

UI discussion (Task 433697)
infrastructure for the chart API (Task 433699)
data persistence with JSON (Task 433702)
track and collect time in Eclipse (Task 433703)
plugin structure for this project (Task 433705)

I work at the moment on the task 429959 with Andreas and Timur,
where we create several unit tests for the current code base, more details see in [8]. 

I have also create a small first mock-up for my project, where you can see here:  

If you want to install „Developer Statistics“, look at the update site [1]. 
Feedback would be really great, please comment on the above bugs or contact me/us on the mailing list. 

Regards,
Akif
