Report 2 — Improving Team Activity Metrics

Hi,

This is the second report on the GSoC project 'Improving Team Activity
Metrics' with Sukhbir Singh and Andreas Tille as the mentors.

I have continued my work on the API. My progress so far and the future
work plan is given below.

1) Getting data on an annual time frame.

All the data requests to the API returned data with default timeframe
being a month, i.e., for all metrics, the return data was available
for each month for all the available years. This could be a lot of
data, specially for more active teams, hence I added an option to
return data on a annual timeframe, which was the default for the
project before I started.

Example : Default monthly data access

    GET api/v1/≤TEAM_NAME>/<METRIC_NAME>/

Example: Annual data can be accessed by

    GET api/v1/a/≤TEAM_NAME>/<METRIC_NAME>/

2) Getting data for custom time range.

Initially, the API returned all the available data for any requests.
Users may be more interested in getting data for a custom time range,
so I have made the API time range aware. It now accepts GET variables
