 As [https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-dev/2014-May/006909.html
 announced on tor-dev@], I'd like to separate the data-collecting part from
 the graph-presenting part of the Metrics Portal.

 In particular, the data-collecting part shall be available under
 https://collector.torproject.org/ and the graph-presenting part under
 https://metrics.torproject.org/.  There will be links to the new website
 from the current Metrics Portal for quite a while.

 For now, this doesn't require many changes from the admin side.  Here's
 what I think needs to be done:

  - Create a DNS entry collector.torproject.org and point it to yatei.

  - Create a new directory /srv/collector.torproject.org/ that the metrics
 user has full access to.  I'm going to run a Java application that will
 live in /srv/collector.torproject.org/collector/.

  - Add an Apache vhost to serve /srv/collector.torproject.org/web/ (or
 www/, or whatever you'd like to call that subdirectory) as
 https://collector.torproject.org/.  There will be no Tomcat in this case,
 just Apache.

 Thanks!
