Development Update

So... what's up with SST development? is it active?

I ran Gource against the trunk branch and created an awesome visualization (with soundtrack!) to show off development activity:

video: link (with soundtrack)
video: link (no soundtrack)

The magic incantation of `gource` to produce the video:

$ gource \
    -s .3 \
    -1280x720 \
    --auto-skip-seconds .3 \
    --multi-sampling \
    --stop-at-end \
    --hide mouse,progress \
    --file-idle-time 0 \
    --max-files 0  \
    --background-colour 222222 \
    --font-size 20 \
    --logo docs/assets/sst-logo_small.png \
    --title "SST Development - lp:selenium-simple-test" \
    --output-ppm-stream - \
    --output-framerate 30 \
    | ffmpeg -y -r 30 -f image2pipe -vcodec ppm -i - -b 2048K movie.mp4
