Hi Daniel

Thanks for the response. I've included some comments inline.

Ah.. I see that now but am glad to hear the elaboration as it wasn't clear to 
me.

 If that's not clear enough, let me elaborate:

So does standard mode = relative mode?

Ok so to me this means that the relative mode shows the mood analysis say 
across one project if that is the filter being used. So with my Httpd example - 
in relative mode this gives me an indicator of the general mood profile for 
Httpd based on and in relation to the other moods that the Httpd project 
generates. 

And the mood gauge in relative mode gives me an overall indication of the 
filtered project or view (e.g Httpd) based on the moods found in the sources 
for the filter. So the more positive the moods found, the higher the rating 
will be.

If my understanding is wrong then please correct me as I really need to get 
this as it is going to be part of my research :-)

Should this be Comparative mode?

So does this mean that you are comparing against all the sources for the 
organisation or if you have multiple organisations will it compare against all 
organisations?

OK this is good and this is clearer

So now I'm after more :-) Is there a way to compare the mood profiles of two 
different projects. For example, if I wanted to compare the profiles of Httpd 
and Beam, how could I do that?

It does - thanks. I'd probably be happier with clearer explanations so will 
document what I can as I'm going through.

Thanks
