PHPamily

The aim of this project is to show the connection between people, projects, companies, podcasts and all the other bits and pieces of the PHP-Family.

The main idea is to show how all of the parts are connected with one another by parsing freely available datasources like twitter or github or ... and adding those connections to a central datasore. The data can then be adapted and searched and serve as raw-data for displaying the connections using d3.

My original idea was to randomly select some node and display any connection around it for 2 levels. The user can then click onto a node and then the 2 levels around that node would be retrieved and added to the display. And there should be a search-field to select a different (or additional?) node to show the conections for (and the connection to the previously shown one)

Setup

You will need bower to setup the external libraries. If you do not have bower installed yet, have a look at http://bower.io for instructions on how to install it.

With bower installed you will need to run bower install inside the directory where this README-file lies in.

After that you should be up and running and should see the first effort by pointing your webbrowser to the index.html-file. Due to the way d3 uses AJAX you will need to call the index.html-file through a webserver!
