Experiments

The basic steps we plan to use:

1. greb needed data via an offline script, digest it, and store it in a MongoDB
2. design your experiment user interfaces using the stored data and beautiful viz
3. let participants play (and save relevant data to your experiment)
4. when possible, give them nice feedback
5. go process the data and write some paper ;)
