We should build an overview (e.g., annotated list) of existing tools for carbon footprint measurement and update it periodically.
This is necessary to make good strategic decisions about whose needs (and which needs) we want to meet, and how best to meet them.
For instance, given the current size of the project, it might be useful to merge a different open-source project into this repo, combine, and build on top.
This list should ideally be linked from the README, unless we create a Wiki to discuss the project's strategy (then, an overview of existing tools would fit more naturally in the Wiki).
This one's stated goals / purpose are exactly the same as cumulator, and they already have a website and a better name. Since their project is open-source, we could:
propose a collaboration to add the features we need, or, if that fails,
fork their repo and build on top of it.
Either of these options would probably require less work than starting from the current state of cumulator.
