Comment:

 I have been thinking about this. I think a nicer solution would be to make
 Compass just spit out JSON files and not HTML. Then extend Atlas to use
 this as a backend. Atlas should be able to talk to both Onionoo(for
 specific relay info) and Compass(for processed data). Essentially Compass
 becomes an extension to Onionoo. We might later want to extend Onionoo to
 do what Compass does if we don't want to maintain two separate services.

 This is a pretty big task and I'm not sure what the plans for Atlas are. I
 remember hellais saying something about backbone.js being not good enough
 and it's now hard to extend Atlas. Is there going to be some Atlas rewrite
 or something?
