Thank you Daniel, it's good to see the progress you're making. I 
overlooked the links in the grey top area. Maybe it would be helpful to 
highlight them as links, make them look like buttons or something.

I'm not sure I'm convinced of the need to compare among projects. I'm 
more interested to see per each project how the bugs opened-vs-closed 
goes over time (for example). The report would be more effective if it 
created a new chart per project and add lines to the charts based on 
the selection on the right.

This report is useful to produce at regular intervals, and comparing to 
the previous interval. I think it would be more interesting to see the 
trends of activity for different people/companies over time than an all 
time ranking. A punch-card diagram for example, with time on the x axis 
(months) and dots of different size based on the amount of activities 
in the time frame (month).

I'm not sure I understand this last point
