    This is really neat visualization of page histories and could be a
    mechanism for assigning credit for pages (or maybe authorship for
    articles).

    It's like 'svn blame' which tells you who wrote each line but is
    much prettier. Here's a screenshot of the main page history
    http://openwetware.org/images/d/de/Oww-main-page-history.png
    
    You need to download the java application from:
    http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/tech/historyflow/download
    then install jtidy from:
    http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/jtidy/jtidy-04aug2000r7-dev.zip?download
    Go under the file menu to 'install Jtidy' restart, and you'll see
    an option for loading mediawiki articles. Replace the export url with
    http://openwetware.org/wiki/Special:Export
    and put in the page you care about.
