Popis: The co-evolution of communities and systems in open-source software (OSS) projects is an established research topic. There are plenty of different studies of OSS community and system evolution available. However, most of the existing OSS project visualization tools provide source code oriented metrics with little support for communities. At the same time, self-reflection helps OSS community members to understand what is happening within their community. Considering missing community-centered OSS visualizations, we investigated the following research question: Are the OSS communities interested in a visualization platform, which reflects community evolution? If so, what aspects should it reflect?
