Thoughts and Conclusions
=====================
Dan
There are two main kinds of use cases I see in Wikistats:
* get lost clicking through stats and engage your mind to new questions. This kind of brainstorming is not possible with a rigid dashboard.
* find answers to specific questions. This kind of search is hard on wikistats unless you know where to go.
