population chart/diagram

Hi,

first of all, thanks for this excellent service! I'm using it several times a day and just simply love it.

I do have some requests of additional diagrams. For team management it would be nice to see a graph with number of points along Y-axis, and a people-count along X. This way we'd see if the team is heavily top-weighted, etc.

Another request is a prediction-line, just extending the trend-line a few weeks forward. I assume you're already calculating a polynomial for making the trend-line, so making a forecast shouldn't be that hard. You could even plot each "degree" of the polynomial, so you'd have a straight line, a tangent line etc.

I hope you look to adding new and exciting features soon,

Nice. I like it.

Not that hard. I didn't do it because: 1) I think there is no point in the prediction; 2) The radar page already gives a prediction; 3) It uses screen real estate.

It won't be soon. I will not have time for it in the coming months. That is why I opened the sources of FahStats:

If you or anyone could help...

Thanks for posting, Kakao.
