It does run in any browser which supports Javascript including Browse on the
XOs. I've tested it on an XO-4, but not on any other XOs (currently, I only have
XO-4 with me). It would be actually be good to verify that it does work properly
on XO-1s as well. Here is the link to the public instance, so any of you can try
it out:

This one visualizes data of four deployments from Nepal and doesn't show any
errors anymore:). Only number of devices hasn't been included in the database
for koral and kumdi yet.

The Javascript library I used for the visualization is called Highcharts
(highcharts.com). For the app itself, I used a Couch app framework called Kanso
(kan.so).

You might be referring to sugar-stats described here
(http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Platform_Team/Usage_Statistics), which gathers
more detailed data about the system. I've been intending to visualize those as
well, but that's still remaining on the TODO list for the project.:)

Finally, I've just updated the README in the repo of the app with deployment
instructions:

https://github.com/martasd/xovis

Please try to install it following those instructions and let me know if
anything is unclear or if you come across any issues in the process.

Cheerios,
Martin
