Yes some charting/visualization would also be a nice thing to make the intro page less dry.

For example, you could simply interface to one of the HTML5 charting libs such as Highcharts or even pass it through Google Visualisation API.

About the datasets, maybe another idea would be to have some public datasets readily available to hack on.

Our intro page does need some love, good call.

>> HTML5 charting or Google Visualisation

This would be great. Maybe we could have a canvas element off on some discreet pane somewhere, direct these rendering libraries at it, and reveal the pane when the canvas gets written to.

>> public datasets readily available to hack on.

Genius. Great idea.
