The one major caveat, I think, is that the danger of proportionate
data is that it makes small projects very vulnerable to artificial
traffic spikes. I'd go out on a limb and say that some of the massive
bumps in popularity we see in particular combinations are likely due
to either undetected automata or simply a project having so little
traffic that a small number of people can sway the results
outlandishly.

Great job.
Who knew Esperanto was big in Japan and China at #2 and #3?

Hey all!
We've released a highly-aggregated dataset of readership data -
specifically, data about where, geographically, traffic to each of our
projects (and all of our projects) comes from. The data can be found
at
http://dx.doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.1317408 - additionally, I've
put together an exploration tool for it at
https://ironholds.shinyapps.io/WhereInTheWorldIsWikipedia/
Hope it's useful to people!
