Hello everyone, I am the author of the PanBI <http://www.PanBI.org> open source business intelligence project. PanBI provides data extraction, transformation and loading logic as well as data warehouse schemas for a number of systems and Subversion - used by Apache - is one of the systems supported.
I have designed a dedicated Subversion data warehouse and loading logic so that Subversion repository data can be analyzed using OLAP tools. To demonstrate the functionality, I have made a short screencast <http://panbi.sourceforge.net/systems/subversion/olap.html> (7 minutes) using none other than the Apache web server's code repository as the one under analysis. I thought it would be interesting for you - elbow deep in the web server's code - to see visualizations of activity on the project. I also thought you might consider PanBI valuable in the future as a tool to monitor activity on the project. I, on the other hand, am very much interested to hear your comments, opinions and suggestions. Please keep in mind that the current capabilities, while already quite useful, are just the tip of the iceberg: PanBI is really embarrassingly extensible. :) Data extracted from the code repository can be combined with that of a planning tool or a time tracker to make sure everyone is working on the right thing at the right time. Branches, diff size, multiple projects and repositories can be supported, the number of dimensions extended, additional analysis performed...the list is long. :) In conclusion, take a look! I would be happy to answer any of your questions and look forward to hearing any comments you might have by mail or on the PanBI forums <http://apps.sourceforge.net/phpbb/panbi/>.
