[tor-dev] Scaling Tor Metrics, Round 2

Hi, Karsten Loesing: Ah, I wasn't referring to anyone specifically. I'm also a fan of David McCandless' work and have his book on the shelf here :) There are two; a new one as of last year. (Next to the wonderful books of Edward Tufte and the great ggplot2 book of Hadley Wickham.) The

Hi, Karsten Loesing: We briefly discussed making a JavaScript-free Globe a while ago by using Node.js. I'm not sure whether this would also work for Metrics. It may depend on how interactive graphs are supposed to be. As said later in this thread, .png seems okay. Though I see the load on

Hi, teor: Do David's visualizations already use JavaScript? We could make (another) part of the metrics site use JavaScript. Can the data be processed on the host server and sent to the client JS-free? Or are we waiting to choose a language before doing any new work? What are the opt
