HowItWorks and your sandbox have different purposes. This is a critical
concept that we need to deploy carefully.
I recommend that we use a page under /Team/Devs, that should be the most
appropriate page. Maybe SearchAlgorithmVariables? :)

Regarding focus time, we should get informations about user activity. If
the user choose a page and get a phone call, the page stays there for
minutes and we would consider it important. We should find a way to
catch mouse move or keybard usage (like Skype or pidgin do to
auto-enable away mode).
