In this paper, we present Binoculars, a prototype tool which aims to provide a platform for graph based visualization and exploration of OSS projects. We describe the issues need to be addressed for the design and implementation of a graph based tool and distill lessons learned for future guideline.}, author = {Syeed, M.M. Mahbubul} }
