Sparklines are small word-sized graphics that communicate lots of numbers in a small space. Here’s an example:
Jena downloads are usually around 80 per day during the week, with slightly less on the weekends. After the 2.3 release on 12 Oct, they briefly rose to about 200 for a few days, then stabilized again at 110.
I’ve added some sparklines to the SourceForge project activity RSS feeds. I did this using James Byers’ sparkline PHP library, a phantastic little project which was a joy to use after I got it working.
This is what the daily stats look like now (Safari screenshot; the statistics are from the RSSOwl project):
I’m thinking about adding sparklines to StatCVS too. Ideas are welcome.
