N2 - We present LifeSource, two visualizations of CVS code repositories, one file-centric and one author-centric. CodeConnections, the file-centric visualization, pulls out the overall structure of a large body of interacting code and authors. CodeConnections scales well and reveals large trends in the code base at a glance. CodeSaw, the author-centric visualization, compares authors' code and project mail contributions over the course of one year. CodeSaw reveals trends in authors' lives, exposing peaks and valleys of productivity. Both visualizations uncover deep details about the life of a code project to developers and onlookers.
