I'm familiar with this ticket. I'm not sure how it relates with a 
currently established process of generating redundant reports in a wiki? 
I think surfacing statistics in a nice graphical way would be awesome, 
but I think there's a procedural change that can be made now without 
waiting on a feature enhancement.

No doubt. The work on the LTP has been amazing.

Again, I'd like to know why this bug in particular is keeping us from 
being more efficient in our team reporting? Are we throwing technology 
at something that can be solved procedurally?
