[Callers] Another vote for "jets" and "rubies"

[Dave Casserly via Callers]

What if we made a Google doc with more vague categories where dances could
self-report their attendance?  Something like, a column for the state where
the dance is located, a column for 2015 average attendance, all done in
ranges of 1-50, 51-100, etc, and another column for 2017 attendance, with
the same ranges?  I think that would be useful for purposes of knowing how
many dances are suffering declining attendance, and where those dances are,
but wouldn't give out enough specific information to make organizers queasy
about publicly releasing data.
