Microsoft and RIT have teamed up to create "Just Press Play", a fun, insightful, and educational Alternate Reality Game (ARG). This project will help to build a Website for one part of the game involving historical documents. Users will be able to vote and argue their opinions based on a central image or document. The highest rankings will be pushed to the top. This site will be in real-time allowing the participants to defend and post their comments as if a true debate were happening in real life.

Git Repo

MediaWiki Visualization is a python program that watches a wiki for changes using the MediaWiki API. It loads up a list of pages and their link structures and then watches the change log. When a page is changed it links the user to the page as well as linking to any pages it links to.

The visualization is currently using ubigraph to draw the visualization with the help of the networkx python module. It also uses the twisted framework to pull the api at a configurable interval.
