new block for data table

[thomaspark]

Here's a nice example of a sortable table: http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/there-are-922-unisex-names-in-america-is-yours-one-of-them/

I started playing with the data tables and the highcharts library and realized this.

How do we want to obtain the data? Do I create a js input to upload a csv file or does that need to be done outside the module?

[thomaspark]

CSV upload could work. Two additional possibilities are to have a spreadsheet-like input where data can be entered directly within Snowball, or linking to a Google spreadsheet.

Also keep in mind that this issue is strictly for presenting data in tables. Graphs and visualizations will come later. So no need to dive into highcharts yet.

Do we need any options apart from the ones im Handsontable in the admin.html side?
