[sakai2-tcc] Wrapping up Tools Survey/SQL Data

At the TCC - CLECC meeting on Tuesday, I was hearing that I should publish the graphs pretty much as they are. Any objections?

I'm also thinking I could publish the raw aggregate data from the SQL, in addition to, not instead of, the charts I've produced, on the off chance someone may want to play with the information to visualize it in a different way. 

Any objections?

Thanks,
Neal

The data for each institution was converted to a percentage and then aggregated, each institution's results counting for the same weight.  Specific tools did end up getting weighted in that a tool might be used at one institution but not another, no normalization technique was attempted.

For example asn.read.submission and asn.grade.submission would roll up under one entry - "asn"  . Data visualized in SQL_data_summary_pdf
