 * component:  Metrics Data Processor => Metrics Website


Comment:

 Let's first make it clearer that this graph only contains ''running''
 relays.  The text already says it (emphasis added only here): "The
 following graph shows the number of ''running'' relays that have had
 certain flags assigned by the directory authorities."  What we could also
 do is add the word running to the graph title, as in: "Number of running
 relays with relay flags assigned".  What do you think?

 Let me also add that there's no way how we could add non-running relays to
 this graph anymore, because those are not included in the consensus
 anymore.

 But let's finally think about your and/or suggestion, which might be
 useful for other things than to clarify what this graph shows.  It might
 be interesting to know how many Exit-flagged relays also have the Guard
 flag.  We'll have to change the aggregation script for this, because we
 don't have that data available.  But it's good timing, because I'm
 planning to rewrite that module soon anyway.  I'll keep this suggestion in
 mind for that and will update this ticket once I made progress on it.

 Changing to Metrics Website, because Metrics Data Processor is just the
 old name for what's called CollecTor today.  (Maybe I should just fix Trac
 component names.)
