Abstract

New communication platforms have emerged to support developers in finding and creating the knowledge they need for program comprehension, maintenance, and evolution. Instant messaging applications are supplanting developer mailing lists in collaborative development toolchains. These applications provide a new medium, supporting faster and richer communication (e.g., embedded previews, images, files, videos). Research so far focused on extracting information from these platforms, but there is a lack of tools to visually and interactively explore them.We present DiscOrDance, a tool for the interactive visual exploration of the complete message history of a Discord server. We show how three categories of views elicit insights on aspects of the structure, members, and software related content of a Discord server. We demonstrate use cases of DiscOrDance to support software maintenance and evolution activities on an active software developer community, the Pharo Discord server.Demo video: https://youtu.be/eYCLGWwM9HYTool homepage: https://DiscOrDance.si.usi.ch

DiscOrDance:在Discord上可视化软件开发人员社区

新的交流平台已经出现，以支持开发人员查找和创建他们需要的知识，以理解、维护和发展程序。即时消息应用程序正在协作开发工具链中取代开发人员邮件列表。这些应用程序提供了一种新的媒介，支持更快、更丰富的通信(例如，嵌入式预览、图像、文件、视频)。迄今为止的研究主要集中在从这些平台中提取信息，但缺乏以可视化和交互式方式探索它们的工具。我们提出DiscOrDance，一个工具的交互式视觉探索的完整的消息历史的一个不和谐的服务器。我们展示了三类视图如何引出对Discord服务器的结构、成员和软件相关内容方面的见解。我们演示了DiscOrDance的用例，以支持活跃的软件开发人员社区(Pharo Discord服务器)上的软件维护和发展活动。演示视频:https://youtu.be/eYCLGWwM9HYTool主页:https://DiscOrDance.si.usi.ch
