Well, I have to agree, we will see if it they get somewhat better with Ceri's suggestion. 2, Marc wrote he is not happy about adding another dependency to textproc/docproj. I think making a graphviz-lite port as Brooks suggested and adding a knob to disable the building of these graphs as Simon suggested would be a good compromise. As for using another tools that are already in the docproj port, I have to admit, I don't know them in depth, thus I don't know how we could generate such. It would be difficult to convert the existing graphs to a different markup, though. Besides, I think the output that dot generates suit the style of our website design very well, particularly if we change that blueish color to some kind of redish. I haven't tried that so far, though. 3, Someone mentioned that the mentor-mentee graphs are not quite useful. I agree, but they are cool and lot of us enthuse over they. I'll send a new patch soon if I have some time. Regards, Gabor
