 Actually, if we find an excited volunteer who wants to work on
 visualizations, I'd prefer him/her to work on interactive graphs based on
 metrics-web's data.  [http://tigerpa.ws/tor_metrics/ Walter Kim's graphs]
 are a great start.  We should either get Walter excited about them again,
 or find somebody to pick up his work.

 area but leave the red and blue points in.  See the attached graph.  Would
 that help?

 I think that concludes the ticket.  Can we close it?
