Shared dashboard for internal and external servers

[cbaldacin]

Hi Shawn!

The idea is to include inside gerrit dashboard data from also another
server, which it will be configured in gerrit.config.

We tend to use JSON-RPC to get the external data. Would it be the best
way?

Since this is an interim solution while you don't move the data model
out of the database into Git, right?
Do you think it worth for this period?

Are you proposing that the Gerrit server make the JSON-RPC request for
this data, or would it be the client's browser?

How would the Git data store for review data eliminate the need for
this JSON-RPC request to another system? Is the other system storing
information that you want to put into gerrit, but cannot because the
review data isn't flexible enough yet?

Maybe not. I'm hoping to get the git store stuff wrapped up in Q1.
I've been too distracted by too may side projects in Q3 and Q4 last
year, and I really want to focus on only 2 things this quarter and get
them completed. The git store stuff is one of those two things.
