Inspired by Daniel Bogan's visualization of the Flickr codebase (http://vimeo.com/11876335), I pulled together this view of Slide's code repository since the first commit on 01-Sep-2004.
Branches are directories, blobs are files (coloured by file type -- swfs are green, python is pale blue, etc), and the buzzing-around things are committers.
