I started a new webapp over the weekend and Seth helped me get it set up on a cloud node this morning at http://209.132.184.189/

The idea is that you'll be able to click through the user's avatars to their profile page at, for instance, http://209.132.184.189/pingou.

The charts from their page are embeddable, so we can use it like gravatar.com. Pierre could embed http://209.132.184.189/pingou/radar/?style=dark_solarized on his wiki page or personal site.

It would need lots of cleaning work:

• The charts' data gets swamped out by the mass branch. Some math.log can help take care of that.
• The 'dots' chart needs a 'widescreen' aspect ratio. Not yet sure how to do that.
• It would be cool to be able to click on the dots from the dot chart and be taken to a page listing the actual events of that day.
• It needs good end-user docs.
• I need to figure out the click through for that front page.
• Packaging and more..

I think its neat but I'm looking for feedback. Is this an idea I should pursue? Is it something we want?

I think it's a really good idea. We are slightly a developer focused community. It'll be good to show what our developers are up to, how much they work, what they work on. It'll encourage developers, and would also encourage more developers folks to join the community.

Just a quick glance. I'm sure others will have a lot of other, much more detailed input on this.
