Looking at http://wuprop.boinc-af.org/graph_hour.py?userid=130872 to discover what I end up REALLY churning for... I was focusing on just 1-5 projects (SETI, WCG, Spinhenge, Rosetta, Einstein) over the last 15.5 years, but recently decided to add pretty much all the viable projects to my portfolio to spread the goodwill of my 8 machines (one just died, but one super machine is in the works). So, for me this chart is very nice and very useful to look at. HOWEVER...

1) There should be a legend that tells the viewer what the bar colors mean. Top 2, middle 8, then the rest? 33%/33%/33%? Something else? Is it always three colors, or is that just what I am seeing now? A descriptive legend would/should answer all those.

2) It is nice that there is a dedicated column for each project/app pairing. Still, there should also be another chart option that shows only one bar per project, showing the sum of the hours spent by the user on all the apps of that project.

3) The little pop ups as you move your mouse over the bars is neat, but they should also show the total hours each bar respresents in addition to the currently displayed project+app name.

4) It would be super if there was a table with two columns right below the chart that simply showed the data the chart showed, sorted by the hours (kudos if it is sortable instead of sorted, and allows sorting by either column), so that one doesn't have to use the mouse to go through the bars. The data shown would be project+app vs. project+app hours or (if my #2 above becomes reality) project vs. project hours, depending on what the graph is displaying.

5) Shouldn't there be a way to limit the data shown by this graph to the last 24hrs, last week, last month, last year, in addition to the lifetime data? Heck, why not allow a date range?

Thanks for listening
