Back in April, we launched some amazing new graphs.
One of the new visualizations we’ve found especially useful is the
contributors page.
We’re constantly looking at it to get a sense of activity on our projects. It’s
a great way to see who’s contributing and how much of an impact they’re having
relative to other members of a project. The contributors page today is a much
better impact graph than the impact graph ever was.
So today, after four years in service, we’re retiring the impact graph.
