The size/brightness of the dot corresponds to the number of changes the file has had since the beginning of the tracking in the code swarm. Having the code swarm somehow represent the number of machines that were affected...now *that* would be cool. Maybe we should do another one. :) Hey Dan – actually each dot represents a commit made to a conf, raw config file, transform, code, or whatever, and then surrounds the username who made the commit.

Does each dot represent one server? And do the size (and brightness) of the bubble indicate the total number of changes on that server in a single user session?
