Presenting the reports as a HTML page. If people need to review the contents as the individual facts, that will come a little later. Replacing the NNTP service is just the first step. However, the CT server will have a mirror of the Metabase. > The third part -- substituting for nntp.perl.org > -- I'd also like a volunteer for.

It depends how people plan to use the data. To begin with the stats DB should be fine, then once it's all working, I think we'll find better ways to present the data and analysis.
