Currently blocked: Need to decide which information will be displayed by the dashboard

As we define requirements for our dashboard, we need to sketch out a friendly, intuitive user interface to display the information it holds.

Will this interface be used by Tech-savvy people? Ipython widgets might be perfect as a start. Otherwise kibana is pretty easy to use, as a query interface, and can be embedded. This isn't some nice D3 website, but is a start and can be used to see what people actually want to see.

@kennethgoodman The idea is to have it (eventually) as accessible and clearly informative to the public as possible, whatever form(s) it takes. A couple of us have started working on R Shiny apps; I hadn't looked at Kibana - cool!

Looks nice so far. It sounds like we are waiting for more information before continuing working on this issue.
