Technical derail: I'm curious: what is your list of colors for identifying contributors? Specifically: *how deep is it*? :-)
I believe it is 64 deep.
That won't be enough. :-)
I regularly see things identified by color codes which are insufficiently distinguishable from one another. Past 9 or 10, it can get rough...
Yeah, there are only about 8 good ones that are really distinctive, and then after about 20 you can get into some hairy situations. It's not that bad though because usually an off-green is next to an off-red or something. It's only bad when a color and two of its off-colors are all close. I might have it wrap after 10 but add a hover feature that will pop up the contributor's name.
You've seen the IBM work on this sort of thing, right?
Should we ever expect it to show the rendered text with these markers, instead of the raw? Cause that'd be outta sight...
