      <h2>Developer Code Swarm</h2>

      <p>We have created a <a href=
      "http://jmri.org/community/codeswarm.shtml">Code Swarm of
      JMRI development</a> from its inception to January 2009. A
      Code Swarm is a fascinating and dynamic visual representation
      of change as developers come and go and make changes to the
      files that make up a project. More information is available
      on the <a href=
      "http://jmri.org/community/codeswarm.shtml">Code Swarm</a>
      page.</p>
