Thanks for the input, everyone!

We briefly touched on this topic in today's metrics team meeting where
we concluded that having permanent links to graph images would be
quite useful and that we'd prototype something that requires
JavaScript for as few things as possible.

Later in the Vegas meeting we decided that even though compatibility
of Tor websites with Tor Browser's high-security mode is an ideal that
many share, our resources are too limited to do all the things, so we
should do as many as we can, as efficiently as possible.  We should
make sure that our data sets remain fully available for people who
don't like JavaScript, but we don't owe people a non-JavaScript
visualization of our data.

Thanks again for this discussion.  It's too early to decide on a
specific tool or framework, but once we need to make this decision, we
won't be slowed down by having to work around JavaScript at all costs.
 That's very useful.

If anything else comes to mind on this topic, feel free to post it
here, and even though I cannot spend many more cycles on this now,
I'll take another look at this thread when comparing web frameworks
and prototyping future Tor Metrics websites!

All the best,
Karsten
