[OH-Dev] A visual flowchart for Open Source Comes to Campus (or: a thread *not* about a big ball of code)

We also talked about how it would be relatively simple to make this 
dynamic, i.e., you can keep track of your progress. We could use local 
storage options (jQuery has some nice plugins for this) and avoid 
needing a backend. Maybe also allow storage of notes, relevant links, 
and so on.

If Asheesh was kidding about that part of it, I certainly wasn't, having 
an interactive portion would be really helpful.

Cheers,
