 AA> NEWS::: Fidograph: The nodelist visualized:
 AA> :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
 AA> 
 AA> This little project may have already been around for a while,  
 AA> but it deserves a retelling.
 AA> 
 AA> Fidograph provides a visual interpretation of the Fidonet  
 AA> nodelist.
 AA> 
 AA> Usage:
 AA> 
 AA>  http://2613.ru/fidograph/?z=#
 AA>  http://2613.ru/fidograph/?r=##
 AA>  http://2613.ru/fidograph/?n=###
 AA> 
 AA>  where:
 AA> 
 AA>  z=zone
 AA>  r=region
 AA>  n=net
 AA> 
 AA>  and:
 AA> 
 AA>  #|##|###=the number of the zone, region, or net.
 AA> 
 AA> Operation:
 AA> 
 AA>  When the presentation is rendered, hover over each termination  
 AA>  point to get a pop-up of the system info for that nodule.
 AA> 
 AA>  A double-click on each node/nodule will transport you to a
 AA>  fully rendered results page of an implementation of the
 AA>  NodeHist project originally by Pavel Gulchouck 2:463/68,
 AA>  operating as: http://nodehist.wfido.ru/ and is the same script
 AA>  that is runs as https://nodehist.fidonet.org.ua/
 AA> 
 AA>  The Fidograph project uses the daily nodelist sources for a
 AA>  fully up to date report.
 AA> 
 AA> 
 AA> Uses:
 AA> 
 AA>  [1] A fun way to explore the nodelist.
 AA>  [2] Identify your favourite net and use that as a "live"
 AA>      desktop background.
 AA>  [3] Sysops: use that to illustrate nodelist structure to
 AA>      new sysops or users alike.
 AA> 
 AA> 
 AA> The backstory:
 AA> 
 AA>  http://nozdr.ru/creation/prograf/fidograph
 AA> 
 AA> Google-translate does a fine job converting the content to  
 AA> English.
 AA> 
 AA> A companion project to visualize ECHOMAIL areas:

 AA> A comment from the FUTURE4FIDO Roving Reporter:
 AA> :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
 AA> 
 AA>  http://www.2613.ru/fidograph/?n=229 looks kinda freaky!
 AA> 
 AA> 
 AA> Those Russian lads in Zone 2 are very imaginative and creative!
 AA> 
 AA> Credit to John Dovey (@ 4:920/1) for bringing Fidograph to my  
 AA> attention.
