The end of the SoC has far passed. I kept working on the drawing project, committed several fixes, and wrote a few example modules. during and before FrOSCon and DrupalCon brainstormed with others about where you could use the the graphic displays.
First of all let me remind you all the big setback of this module: there is only an SVG toolkit included. If someone could write a VML toolkit we could have full native browser support, until then we have only plugins for IE. However for certain sites the support of IE is not that important, especially if you are thinking on using it for your administration interface.
I set up a demo site at http://marvin.elte.hu/drawing, which I update whenever I have an idea for a module, and I write it.
Here are several ideas that you could build graphic display modules for:
- devel module
- administration interface (not just visiting statistics, but also comment rate per node (measure topic activity), incoming hits, and so on. If you have ideas regarding statistics, do not hesitate to share)
- sparklines (embeddable graphs)
- evaluating the usage measurements of project module (a quick overview for example with all the projects plotted on a chart, axes could be popularity vs update rate)
- embed maps and display stuff on them
