I also agree that itzod pool seems undervalued for what it offers and we need to get some higher participation to keep variance in check.
One thing is the site itself doesn't offer much in the way of pretty user graphs, etc. but it does have good api support.
I use my own webapp to monitor worker/pool performance. I've posted it to github in the off chance anyone else will find it useful, if not, no harm done.
https://github.com/shendo/itzodmonWeb layout/js heavily 'borrowed' from p2pool as that is my other pool of choice.
If there is any interest I'll put a bit more effort in cleaning it up and package it properly, etc.
I would like to test it. Tried to dowload package from GIT and install but I get the following errors:
