Hi Aaron,

Yes, that's an excellent, excellent idea, and in fact that's pretty much exactly what the hackyMaven project is intended to support. The idea is that Maven-generated project websites would (a) run analyses during construction that send data to a hackystat server, and then (b) suck charts from Hackystat and display them in a reasonable place on the project website.

Given that we don't use Maven, at least not yet, it might be nice for us to hack something together for hackydevsite. Maybe we can adapt the telemetry viewer code to simply download once day a bunch of jpgs from the hackystat server, rename them to something standard, and then build a static page that displays them?

Cheers,
Philip

Hey Guys,

I had a really cool idea! We could construct an analysis that provides the 
world with a
summary of the development of Hackystat using Hackystat. The idea is that we 
could
provide some charts and tables that could be accessible on 
http://www.hackystat.org or
maybe just on the public Hackystat server.  This will accomplish two things: 
(1) it
gives people some idea what kind of analyses are possible using Hackystat and 
(2) it
will give some insight into the level of active development on Hackystat.

The last accomplishment is pretty cool. Think about sourceforge; say you find a 
pretty
cool tool and are deciding whether or not to use it. one of your criteria for 
making
that judgment is whether or not you think the authors are continually working 
on the
software (new features, bug fixes, etc).  By providing some analyses (or 
probably just
charts and tables) we can show to the world that we are working really hard on
Hackystat.

Anyway just an idea... I'm not volunteering. :)

thanks, aaron
