Has anyone else noticed http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:History_Of_WineAppDB.gif which is shown on the right side of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wine_(software) ? It's kind of cool. Hats off to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Estemi who put it together.

Yes that is cool - though I think a plotted graph would be easier to read. On the other hand the animation does help get the feeling of growth across.
The animated version is very cool.
Would it be possible to generate the data "live" from appdb (or create an hourly/daily snapshot) and feed it into something like Google analytics to generate pretty pictures. Kind of like what github does (see http://github.com/github/wine/graphs/punch_card for a display of the commits per day and hour on wine).
