right.

Readme and the move to github.com/pybossa will follow as soon as the cookie authentication is working. I haven't managed to get it working, and I think it is useless unless users can't submit tasks under their own identity.

Sure I will blog about this.

Btw, I just added another feature since I thought the current progress could be displayed more clearly. For the big progress bar I used a different calculation. Instead of n_completed_tasks / n_tasks I compute the progress as n_taskruns_submitted / n_taskruns_needed, where the first is the sum of Math.min(taskruns(task), task.n_answers) and the second is the sum of task.n_answers. This way the progress moves on right from the first submitted tasks.

Tell me what you think about the task badges? Maybe this don't scale when there are millions of tasks, but anyway, the visualizer in me wanted to see the whole project at once :)
