Provided as a means of better understanding trends, the following charts and tables will visualize various indirect data points that, while not indicative of success (or deferrance thereof), may well correlate with such. Plus, being able to see trends on a large scale can aid in better decision making and planning.

Projects are typically released on Tuesday, and are due by the end of the following Wednesday. This allows for at least nine days to work on the project without penalty.

Following the due date, there is a period of three days (the late, or past due period), where 25% is docked each day, after which the project neither has nor can earn any value.

Here is a table with the pertinent dates for this project (the day number is the one that is also found on the x-axis of the graphs.

Typically, any and all activity taking place to the left of the due date is preferable; it tends to indicate less procrastination and has the likelihood of involving better time management.

Each line represents an individual class member's progress on the project. The more active they are, the higher the bar will rise.

The busier the day looks, the more active a development day it is by more of the class. And the more left shifted the activity, the less procrastination (lefter is betterer).

Although not a guaranteed measure of progress or of success, it is intended as a guage to evaluate how the class as a whole is doing.

NOTE: As of sll2, activity is measured in units of partial project builds. Prior to sll2, only full project builds were counted.

Each line represents the total class activity on the project for the given day. The higher and more colorful the line, the more activity by more people took place (upperer as well as lefterer is betterer).

Although not a guaranteed measure of progress or of success, it is intended as a guage to evaluate how the class as a whole is doing.

NOTE: Activity is measured in units of partial project builds. Prior to sll2, activity was measured in terms of full project builds.

Each day shows the quantity of project builds per day of the project's lifespan.

Although not a guaranteed measure of progress or of success, it is intended as a guage to evaluate how the class as a whole is doing. As such, the lefterer and upperer the betterer.

NOTE: Activity is measured in units of a user building, and counted once per user per day.
