I would appreciate the fact that graphics could be
resizeabe without any degradation. They are now in
bitmap format (PNG) and it would be better in they were
in scalable formats such as SVG, especially for the
image which shows the participation of the authors.

    Sure, SVG would be nice, but few people have SVG plugins in
    their browsers, and the chart library we use (JFreeChart) can't
    create SVG.

    Both will probably change in the future, and SVG will become a
    very practical format for applications like StatCvs.

    But at the moment, I consider this low priority.

    Instead of SVG I think a simple set of params to configure
    the output size for the gaphs would be great, we've got a
    repo. that gets tagged almost daily so the LOC graph is real
    ugly, if we can make the graph very wide then we would be
    good-to-go.
