This addresses the need for better collaboration insights in open-source projects, but it is incremental as it applies existing methods to a specific domain.

The paper tackled the problem of visualizing contributions to open-source projects by analyzing collaboration among team members and external developers, achieving this through provenance recording and graph drawing to show joint file changes, as demonstrated on Germany's COVID-19 exposure notification app 'Corona-Warn-App'.

We want to analyze visually, to what extend team members and external developers contribute to open-source projects. This gives a high-level impression about collaboration in that projects. We achieve this by recording provenance of the development process and use graph drawing on the resulting provenance graph. Our graph drawings show, which developers are jointly changed the same files -- and to what extent -- which we show at Germany's COVID-19 exposure notification app 'Corona-Warn-App'.
