hello

i realized that with the growing number of doojects and students the numbers on the main page and all statistical figures become harder to read.

can we implement digit separators? please have a look here for the different options per country: http://www.statisticalconsultants.co.nz/blog/how-the-world-separates-its...

any separator would work. an even better solution would take the language code and relates it back to the typical group separator of the related country.

nothing very important - just an idea.

best wishes, frank

One difficulty with this is that if we choose "," then for half of the world it's going to be confusing, and if we use ".", for the other half of the world it will be confusing.

The option to use language is also difficult, because even within a language there are differences and also a good number of users just access the English version of Labdoo even though they are not in a English speaking country. It should be done on a per country basis and then we would need to do geoIP location. Another alternative is to use K or M symbols. E.g. instead of 164139, we can say 164K. But i think not everyone may understand this either.
