My 2 cents:
Open source is about itch scratching, and with no itches, there is no
scratching.
We need to get more people to work on it, more people interested.
Scratchpad stuff is a one-man-show thing, or anyway limited, as the help
Ovidiu has had on his excellent work has clearly shown.
If we move it when it's perfect, nobody will look at it.
So, IMNSHO, your comments make me want to have the code in HEAD even more.
I was -1 for charting for a different reason, since I just submitted the new
codebase now. And I will move it very, very soon.

In firms, you throw more resources at it.
Our resources are contributors, and we need to get them involved.

There are so many good programmers, I think many will be able to understand
it themselves.
IMO your -1s don't stand, even more now that 2.1 is in ALPHA.
