SECONDA: Software Ecosystem Analysis Dashboard

Software ecosystems are coherent collections of software projects that evolve together and are maintained by the same developer community. Tools for analysing and visualising the evolution of software ecosystems must not only take into account the software product, but the development community as well. SECONDA is a software ecosystem visualization and analysis dashboard that offers both individual and grouped analysis of the evolution of projects and developers belonging to the software ecosystem, at coarse-grained and fine-grained level. In its current incarnation, SECONDA is used to study the GNOME ecosystem and developer community. Presented at CSMR 2012 (http://csmr2012.sed.hu).
