 > Having reviewed the man page for dot, I noticed the standard file
 extension is actually .gv so I've changed that and moved the source to
 `src/main/resources/graphviz`. The idea would be that this serves as a
 common directory for any graphviz source files and then they are installed
 into `src/main/resources/web/images` with the "generate-graphviz-pngs" Ant
 task (added in a separate commit).

 Yes, these are good naming choices and the Ant task looks fine.

 ...
 > I've removed the floating metrics-lib and instead added 3 smaller boxes
 on the paths between CollecTor and the consuming services. I've also added
 an additional paragraph above the image that should help to explain it
 further. If people want to learn additional information, they should read
 the relevant pages that are linked in the text, this is only meant to be a
 quick primer.

 Nice synthesis from the two other graphs and the (short) description is a
 good start.
 Thanks for this really nice Metrics about page!
