I'm happy to do it in PHP, and should be able to implement the various features here. I'd use simple URL-hash based filesystem caching (unless memcache is an option? -- the scale of the edit counter might justify this). A RESTful API would be the simplest option, with data output in XML and possibly JSON/serialized PHP. We could have a couple of settings,
e.g. "Quick Count" (no namespaces or other statistics", "Summary" (namespaces) and "Detailed" (count, namespaces, timeline, use of edit summaries etc.).<br><br>Presuming it's going to be widely used, we might as well plan it here -- anybody else have structural suggestions for the tool?

<div>As suggested before, we should begin to explore the need of a
dedicated editcounter that is run on the new stable server. The simple fact is
that it would make life easier for many wikis, by providing a fast and reliable
editcounter for users to utilise for any purpose (RfA, RfB, etc.).</div>

<div>Is there anyone that has a editcount utility that would be fine with
hosting it on the stable server?</div>
