##Graphing Libraries

Given the fact that d3 can be more tricky to work with, @levbrie suggested we work with nvd3

Libraries we're interested in using are

• nvd3 inspired by Mike Bostock's Towards Reusable Charts
• d3
• Rickshaw
• morris.js
• angular-nvd3, an AngularJS directive for NVD3 reusable charting library (based on D3)

Examples:

• Example plots that we might want to emulate are here and here
• Editable examples of nvd3 are here

##Maps

For repos and orgs, we may want to make a map of the users. We'd need to use an additional API to extract a lat-long. Once we have the relevant geo data, we can make a map.

Our preferred library:

• leaflet
