[openstack-dev] [infra][neutron] publish and update Gerrit dashboard link automatically

Could this be done by creating a project dashboard [1]?  I think the
one thing that prevents using such a dashboard is that your script
generates a dashboard that crosses multiple projects.  So, we'd be
stuck with multiple dashboards, one per project.

The nature of your script is to create a new URL reflecting the
current state of things each time it is run.  But, it would be nice if
it were bookmark-able.  These seem to conflict.

Would it be possible have a way to create a URL which would return a
"307 Temporary Redirect" to the URL of the day?  It could be
bookmarked and redirect to the latest URL of the day.

Another idea is a page with a frame or something so that the permanent
URL stays in the browser bar.  I think I've seen web pages redirect
this way before.

Or, we could not do the fancy stuff and just have a link on a wiki or something.

No matter how it is done, there is the problem of where to host such a
page which can be automatically updated daily (or more often) by this
script.

Any thoughts from infra on this?
