I like that. Having an aggregate performance up on the website is something 
I'd prefer to tracking individually - even more so if it's already close to 
working :)

That's a nice idea as well - not tracking everyone's performance but doing 
stuff like "oldest bug closed" seems like a fun thing to do (it's nothing 
people would go crazy about to reach the top).

We're happy for everyone helping out in getting this website up and running, 
so let's see how to incorporate your script/data once we got a basic skeleton!
