Hi,

The visualizations are likely to get published whenever the website of  
the project will be ready (by the end of April or sometimes before).

Nevertheless, here comes some additional information.

I am using the following tools:
*Exhibit for a user-friendly database of people, associations and  
organisations.
*Infovis, for network-based visualizations of professional and  
associative affiliations (already done something through  
ForceDirected: I can send it as a a preview…)
*Google Maps with some timeline for a chronological representation of  
datajournalism meetings and conferences.

I would also like to represent the dissemination of tools and apps.  
For instance, in France, Highchart seems to have been first introduced  
by OWNI in 2010; it is now frequently used in data projects. I don’t  
know yet what would be the better way to figure that.

The purpose of theses visualizations is twofold: they are interesting  
per se and they allow me to have an “insider” view of datajournalism  
practices.

I am actually co-writing a research article on the datajournalism  
handbook, to be published in the French journal “Sur le journalisme”  
by 2d semester of this year: “From the valorization of data to the  
exposure of know-hows. Datajournalism through the Datajournalism  
Handbook” — the title sounds better in French ;)

Hi,

Fine to see that the Wikipedian infiltration plan is making progress.  
Someday we'll run the world…
