Nice idea, bookmarked.

Observation: there's alot of dead space in the middle and right of all the blocks. If there's nothing useful to put there, it might be worth considering a different, more compact graphic layout.

The InfoVis and ProtoVis libraries, among others, may have better layouts for this data:

Nice links!

Agreed about the amount of space used up when the blocks are closed, but once you've clicked a few to view the internal code, it's not such a big deal.

Perhaps someone else would like to take up the challenge of make the jQuery code navigable by treemap!?
