Ask HN: Would a visual way to browse related and similar projects on ohloh/sourceforge be useful?

I'm thinking a project would list its dependencies (or even better they could be discovered automatically from the code, makefiles, autotools files), and you could navigate those dependencies with a map-like interface. Potentially you'd be able to follow the map all the way to libc at the north pole ...

Why? Because it'd be a great way to visualize the way projects fit together. It may even help us better identify projects that bridge the same gaps, which may be an opportunity for collaboration between the teams. Or it may shed light on an especially sparse area, where more projects need to exist. If anything, it could be a great way to become more acquainted with things we indirectly use on a daily basis.

What do you think?
