[Wikimediaindia-l] StatisticsBot for closer look on Indic numbers

[Shiju Alex]

Srikanth,

Good work. And thanks for sharing.

Since in this we are calculating edits per day, new users per day, new
articles per day, and so on, I feel it will be good if those details are
displayed instead of the current total edits/users/articles. In fact for
daily analysis that data is more valubale than total edits/users. I know
for developers like you it is just one line of code. But for non-developer
users like me it makes big difference. :)

Also is is it possible to get the data of number of users who do at least 5
edits per day. I know that makes sense only for very active wikipedias. But
still it is a good metric I suppose.

Thanks once again for sharing this.


Shiju
