Improvements to instructional website data

[j-ro]

A few improvements on the instructions data...

First, would be nice to be able to hide members that are 100% working, to narrow down on unworking ones.

Would be also nice to have some counts/running totals, like 329 out of 518 working, based on the 100% badges.

We should try accessing the svg elements as they load to determine the status.

@moizsyed and I have been discussing ideas on this:

akosednar: How I'm thinking of the functionality is add a selector to the table body and then using javascript do foreach of the tr>td>svg of the rows and set a class to it depending on if it's success or failed (from the svg data). Then we can hide/show based on that class

@moizsyed is also starting on this

A json endpoint is the better solution

[seanknox]

Yeah, I'm not sure how you could parse the badge img's to determine status. +1 to json

[Hainish]

How it currently stands: every load of the congress-forms-test front page makes hundreds of requests and queries on congress-forms. A JSON endpoint may not reduce the number of queries for statuses, but it would drastically reduce the number of requests and open/closes to the DB server

[moizsyed]

alright, someone please setup the json endpoint.. and then i will work on this patch

[moizsyed]

Maybe we should take this on after we're at a good place for the time being with most of the forms being stable.

This will help us make the instruction page a little better identifying which forms are failing, so volunteers in the future can tackle them promptly.
