BTW, what measurements are you proposing to make? How will you make them? What will they tell us?

I see lots of colors, tiny graphs, and bunches of numbers. Example: There are 15 normal bugs with a weight of 38.668 and an impact of 3.7. Is that supposed to mean something?

From this page, I can't tell how bugs are measured, how they are classified, and what all the numbers mean. Was all this done by hand? It looks a little over-engineered to me.

I was imagining the answer would be something more like: Count number of bugs marked as "closed" and "fixed" over some time interval.
