About the discussion group

[Fei]

So we have put up the discussion groups for some sort of "places
holders" for a while, and I really don't feel it's any useful at all.
Considering that we still cannot put up the hackystat graph for a
while, I decided to change the discussion groups to a Google reader
that has all the groups' feeds.

By doing so, right now I can at least tell what the discussion
actually are, and I don't need 1 screen for each team. The problem
with this, however, is that the organization of the topics is a little
messy, and it still requires the user to click on a particular feed in
a new window to see the full post of the discussion.

Anyways, I just messing around it for right now since we don't have
too many things to show. Maybe we should consider this as a widget and
ask for feedback later? Or should we just leave it like this until we
can get the hackystat graph up?

Yeah, I think that works better as a place holder until we can get hackystat telemetry up.  I don't think it would be worth the time to do an evaluation, but I suppose it could be useful to have just 1... Lets put doing that evaluation on low priority for now.

Yeah, and I just notice that the Google reader is not updating as fast as I expected (auto-refresh don't update the feed it seems like), so it is not that much better than the discussion groups pages.
