Very nice.

Suggestions: Allow more than one moderator and possibly a chat box?

Multiple moderators seems a good feature. A chat box may not come to this, I believe for most of the time users will be using another communication tool with audio/video like Google Hangouts, Skype and etc.. Thanks for the feedback.

This is a great idea (for persistent url).

Mind if we add this to the site?

Thank dvito for compiling. This is a great visualization.

It's also logarithmic.

It's not attempting to be deceitful. The problem is the DOD has 8x as many employees as the next largest agency. If spaced without a logarithmic scale, the rest of the agencies are so insignificant it doesn't have any effect at all.

To try to avoid the confusion, I'm working on another graph of percentages working for each agency, and a disclaimer about the scaling.

Mark more scale points: I suggest {1,2,4,6,8}x10^n for each n. That way the visual texture of the scale lines will immediately suggest "log scale".

Make a 2nd chart, with little inset zoomy lines to connect the 2 charts (like you see on a paper map that shows a zoom of the downtown core)

Like this: http://xkcd.com/radiation/

Is there a good js library for doing this style chart?

But very hard to calculate. If we had a solid source of information on this, I could add it.

They fall under the Department of the Treasury.

The other guys that did most of the work will weigh in in a couple of hours. I just wrote the hour calculation.

I'll look into this.

Ya, this would be awesome.
