Hi James and Seth, Dependency networks definitely interest me (see my blog post on the topic: http://iaindunning.com/2014/pkg-deps.html)
The code is all there, so my plan is to hook it up to the website next so its automatically generated nightly. As for function call analysis, definitely possible (using JuliaParser.jl?) although too much of a project for me. I'd be happy to help someone with it though.
