100-Day Plan

From Gephi:Wiki

The 0.7alpha version was released the 8 Feb 2010. The plan is to achieve all the following tasks in 100 days since the release. Main objective is 0.7 beta version but it's not the only one. Please consider helping us on these tasks and feel free to join the discussion about strategy on the forum.

For each task, use this wiki page to fill information about it and it's current status. Please also specify who helped to achieve it.

100-Day Plan

Fix all reported bugs and improve usability. The 0.7 beta version will be released

• Development - 0.7alpha2 (released February 17)
• Development - 0.7alpha3 (released March 31)
• Development - 0.7alpha4 (released April 30)

Fill users’ Quick Start guide and create a simple tutorial how to use Gephi

Documentation, documentation and more documentation

Developers introduction

Make a feature-madness video, to let people know us

Video: Introducing Gephi 0.7

The video highlights the following features:

• grouping: Group nodes into clusters and navigate in multi-level graphs.
• multi-level layout: Very fast layout algorithm that coersen the graph to reduce computation.
• interaction: Highlight neighbors and interact directly with the visualization when using tools.
• partitionning: Use data attributes to colorize partitions and communities.
• ranking: Use degree, metrics or data attributes to set nodes/edges’ color and size.
• metrics: Run various algorithm in one click and get HTML report page.
• data laboratory: Data table view with search feature.
• dynamics: Use Timeline to explore dynamic graphs.
• filtering: Dynamic queries, create and combine a large set of filters.
• auto update: The application is updating itself it’s core and plugins.
• vectorial preview: Switch to the preview tab to put the final touch before explorting in SVG or PDF.

Create tutorial pages for plugin developers. At least layout, metrics and import

• HowTo write a layout
• HowTo write a metric

Fill the Plugins portal documentation on the wiki

New pages

• Checkout Code
• Configuring NetBeans
• Plugin Quick Start (5 minutes)

Create a Manifest and fill “Goals and Aims” on the website. Share our passion for graph visualization and highlight most challenging tasks.

• Manifesto

Start Gephi Student Program, by proposing a set of programming tasks that can be managed in a semester or a quartile by computer science students.

• Draft Gephi Student Program

Post blog articles about our approach and how Gephi is different (and great!)

Reorganize 0.7 specifications and build a clear Roadmap and a discussion space for future developments. Invite people to join the specification team.

• Cleaning Blueprints

Finish documenting Gephi's API

• Work in progress to finish documenting Graph API.

Give more insight which dataset Gephi can deal with, get closer from users’ needs by learning which networks they wants to visualize and support them in this task.
