Niels,

Anyone needing this collector knows what diamond is already. ;)

But I guess I could have added a bit of context for those NOT in the 
know. And that is the correct project. It used to belong to BrighCove 
but they gave it up a while ago.

I have to admit, it is a great metrics collection suit. Very lite-
weight, fast and extensible.

There isn't a lot to explain but will see if I can clear some time to 
write a short something about it. Will also be submitting it for 
inclusion in the package as soon as I feel there are no major issues 
(hence the call for testers).

Chuck

Great, thanks for explaining! I'm looking forward to see feedback from
users and your progress on inclusion in the main Diamond project.
