Please note that none of the graphs you see on this site currently have any age
cutoff, so they always represent the entire set of data that has been submitted.
Once a user has shown up in this data, it will never be removed. That
significantly reduces the validity of the graphs. If anybody has a couple of
spare cycles and wants to work on that, the code is in svn, in its development
branch.

As for making this more visible, I was thinking about not having a default and
asking users to actively decide whether they want to participate or not. We
might want to get the service migrated to MacOSForge's infrastructure (or not,
given the current data protection laws and stuff that happens to your data in
the US…), before we work on that, though.
