NEWS::: Fidograph: The nodelist visualized:
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

This little project may have already been around for a while,
but it deserves a retelling.

Fidograph provides a visual interpretation of the Fidonet
nodelist.

Usage:

http://2613.ru/fidograph/?z=#
http://2613.ru/fidograph/?r=##
http://2613.ru/fidograph/?n=###

where:

z=zone
r=region
n=net

and:

#|##|###=the number of the zone, region, or net.

Operation:

When the presentation is rendered, hover over each termination
point to get a pop-up of the system info for that nodule.

A double-click on each node/nodule will transport you to a
fully rendered results page of an implementation of the
NodeHist project originally by Pavel Gulchouck 2:463/68,
operating as: http://nodehist.wfido.ru/ and is the same script
that is runs as https://nodehist.fidonet.org.ua/

The Fidograph project uses the daily nodelist sources for a
fully up to date report.


Uses:

[1] A fun way to explore the nodelist.
[2] Identify your favourite net and use that as a "live"
    desktop background.
[3] Sysops: use that to illustrate nodelist structure to
    new sysops or users alike.

Google-translate does a fine job converting the content to
English.

A companion project to visualize ECHOMAIL areas:

A comment from the FUTURE4FIDO Roving Reporter:

http://www.2613.ru/fidograph/?n=229 looks kinda freaky!


Those Russian lads in Zone 2 are very imaginative and creative!

Credit to John Dovey (@ 4:920/1) for bringing Fidograph to my
attention.
