Hi Lee,

I'm now busy with the 'Per-directory changeset' chart. It's a lot of code that 
can be simplified greatly. Another thing is that this code has a few bugs as 
well :-).

Next things I'm going to do:

- Fix 'Per-directory changeset (Date)'
- Move 'Per-direcory changeset (Date)' to libgather.php
- Introduce 'Per-directory changes (Release)'
- Use 'Per-directory changes (Release)' in chart.php
- Introduce installation.php
- Release 0.5

After 0.5:

- Do more abstraction work to get all MySQL stuff to include files
- Group functions together in libgather.php if possible.
- Start being more object oriented as far a data gathering is concerned
- Introduce a few more chart types
- Release 0.5.1

I want the above release to be fairly quickly after 0.5 so people actually see 
something changing. Most of the work until now has been 'behind the scenes'.

After 0.5.1:

- Move the chart data generation (chart.php/index.php using libgather.php of 
course) directly to the chart generating php's. This means we don't pass data as 
we do now but rather specify something like 
"charttype=author_by_release&release=???". This would solve the problems we have 
with passing huge amount of data and gets rid of those awfully long links.
- The rest of the TODO list :-)

One thing I see when browsing the web searching for gitstat (or related stuff) 
is that people seem to be very interested in things like:

- number of lines changed in a release
- number of files changed in a release

One thing I'm interested in is:

- number of commits for 1 particular user over the total project (per 
release/date). This is an easy one I think so I may throw that in 0.5 or 0.5.1.

We should also start having a clearer TODO list maybe even with timelines (ouch) ?

Any other idea, remarks, suggestions? I want 0.5 to come out soon so if 
suggestions are simple we can do that for 0.5 otherwise it has to wait.

Cheers,

Paul.
