No problem. I just passed my last exam today, so there isn't much new since
last week.

Running programs and static HTML code generation now work, and I
believe it's time to start work on a dynamic "web application" where
one can filter the results by program, machine or something else.

Of course, since the review week is upon us, if you wish I can wait with
that
and instead write the so-far missing documentation, and maybe add more
data to measurements.

Dygraphs and Bootstrap are licensed under MIT and Apache licenses,
respectively.
I don't think there would be problem if we included them in the repo,
but we should explicitely mention their licenses.

Yes, this was a file I forgot to add to the repo. I added the dependencies
too,
if there are problem they can be removed and replaced with a script
that fetches them.

The problem with shebangs is that I'm on ArchLinux where python3 is the
default,
while I believe some distros still ship with python2 as default.
I don't think we talked about this, but I make all my code
python3-compliant,
and while it should run on python2 as well, there might be some
incompatibilities.

I remember we has some issues with this in GSoC two years ago, when I
was the only one with Python3 and the rest were on Ubuntu or Mac with
the old version.
