Cool! Is it possible to add this widget to es.wikieducator.org ?

Does it automatically launch - where does it display - in the User Profile?

This is just a prototype of a number of data visualizations I would
like to do... so it seems a little early.

But I've copied the widget to es.WE. Expect changes.

Thanks Jim

Very clever. Is this processing intensive? Can I use it as "decoration" on my user page? Half the height (or less)  would make a nice "banner" without taking up too much page real estate.

What other visualizations are you considering?

It isn't *too* bad, and there are some things I could do to mitigate
the processor load if necessary. Thanks for the feedback. I'll
investigate adding a size parameter.

This is very simple minded, counting all edits as equal... which is
clearly bogus since there are some people that use the 'Save' button
in cases where others use 'Preview' (and as an OERf employee, I
really want to encourage the use of 'Preview' since 'Save' costs us
more money :-). I am tempted to use contribution size, but that is
also easy to "game."

I am also interested in showing more of *what* I am working on
(instead of *when*), and who I am collaborating with... but this was
the easiest to implement so decided to start here.

Guilty - while I appreciate the difference, I normally just Save. Often I think I am done, then realize that something needs to be changed.

Interesting - would be nice to "see" examples of collaboration and focus.

I know for myself that I tend to work in a couple of areas and not touch others for long periods. Network diagram of my space with areas where there has been activity highlighted? Intensity? Over time? Just thinking what would be nice to know.

The widget was not handling crossing the year boundary gracefully. I
*finally* got around to fixing it (after stumbling on the script while
looking for something else). The version on en.WE and es.WE has been
updated.

This weekend I noticed that the WikiEducator activity chart was
rendering some events wrong when displayed in Chromium/Chrome. A bit
of poking around showed that current versions of Firefox and Chromium
disagree about the parsing of dates (without times), so the chart
widget now appends a 00:00:00.000 timestamp to ensure consistency.
