[p2pu-dev] metrics script - github?

[Jessy Kate Schingler]

yeah-- but just to be clear, this isn't meant to be *part of* lernanta--
it's just a script to give us a sense of metrics regarding participation.
 so for example, showing some tables, graphs, stats, etc.

i don't see that as conceptually part of lernanta, unless you think we
could/should integrate it into admin somehow? IMHO this is more effort than
it's worth, especially right now as we figure out what we want to include,
but that could be because i'd have to learn how to do that :). but i would
imagine (eventually!) something more like munin's output than a typical
django admin interface, eg:
http://oierud.name/bliki/munin-mysql.png

anyhoo, in the meantime i've set up a repo here:
https://github.com/p2pu/Degress-of-Freedom

we can always merge if that's the direction we want to go!

(as a side note-- is it possible to create a repo within an organization
without first creating one within your personal account and then forking it?
seems a little silly but i couldnt find another way to do it).
