Network connectedness graph

It would be nice if we could break down our "External Contributors" to who those folks are.

One idea is to build a graph of "for our projects" what GitHub Profile > organizations are set by those contributing to our projects.

This will be a bit fragile, based on the other user's profile information, but would be a good start.

@aidan-epperly Is this essentially what https://software.llnl.gov/explore/dependencies/ does? If so, let's close it!

My graph doesn't really deal with users. It mostly only deals with organizations. To fully accomplish this would require some analysis of the users.

Seems like we have the data necessary for itemizing external contributors into some sort of graph:

• Grab user data: https://github.com/LLNL/llnl.github.io/blob/main/_visualize/queries/repo-Users.gql
• Make list of ext users: https://github.com/LLNL/llnl.github.io/blob/main/_visualize/scripts/get_members_extrepos.py
• That list, updated by the bot: https://github.com/LLNL/llnl.github.io/blob/main/visualize/github-data/extUsers.json
• Make a pie chart w/ % of ext contributors: https://github.com/LLNL/llnl.github.io/blob/main/js/visualize/pie_repos.js (currently ext users are aggregated into this chart)

• Need to make sure extUsers.json is accurate. For instance, intUsers.json says my contributedLabRepositories is everything under the LLNL org. I own the org but don't contribute to all of the org's repos. My contributions are more like <20 repos across 4-5 orgs.

So, what kind of graph would be appropriate for this data? Probably not meaningful (or possible?) to show contributors over time; a current snapshot is more realistic. Probably not a pie chart b/c there are >4600 listed in extUsers.json and it would be an unreadable pie. The "Organizations and Contributions" viz on https://software.llnl.gov/visualize/ (second one down) may work: Instead of repos inside each org, show users inside each org. But users can belong to multiple orgs...
