Hi all,
Just a quick heads up to let you know I added some statistics
gathering to wikistream.inkdroid.org for displaying "trending"
articles. Trending articles are just articles ranked by how many times
they were edited in the current hour or day (relative to GMT). I added
similar stats for editors and bots. Since I just deployed the code,
the numbers for today aren't complete, but they should be going
forward.
I wanted to store the stats from the past hour and past 24 hours using
a rolling window. But this proved trickier (for me) to do w/ the Redis
backend that I was already using for streaming the updates (pub/sub).
It should be possible, but I thought I would make a start, and see if
it was worth the extra effort. Let me know what you think, if anything
comes to mind.
