Ideas

Interactive Timeline

  • Create an interactive timeline that shows when people joined the community. People could select a year and see everyone who joined then and drill down into a profile or pull up someone's story about why and how they joined.

Vouching Visualization

  • Who vouched for whom in a tree (think family tree). Something like that http://thejit.org/demos/ note the SpaceTree image. -evilpie
