Hi all,
I'm curious about the privacy implications as well. I can't think of specific problems with this data, *but* it's information that I didn't think we'd ever been logging. We've historically been quite hands-off with any kind of reader information, other than raw hit counts, and there might well be some community discomfort at discovering it's been both tracked and released, even if completely anonymised.
Andrew.

Thanks Amir -- feel free to have your friend reach out to this list directly.
As Ellery said, we're figuring our if there are any privacy implications in releasing this dataset.

I am asking for a real-life friend who is doing some research. It's not for any particular project of mine, but I can easily imagine that it can be useful for a lot of editors and product managers as I wrote in the opening post.
(And I cannot think of any privacy problems if the data is not tied to any particular people, but maybe I'm naive.)

Hi Amir --
Would you like to see these datasets released publicly or was there a specific project you were interested in using them for?
thanks,
-Toby

Hi,
Are there metrics about which links in each article are the most clicked?
I can think there's a lot to be learned from it:
- Data-driven suggestions for manual of style about linking (too much
and too few links are a perennial topic of argument)
- How do people traverse between topics.
- Which terms in the article may need a short explanation in parentheses
rather than just a link.
- How far down into the article do people bother to read.
Anyway, I can think that accessibility to such data can optimize both readership and editing.
And maybe this can be just taken right from the logs, without any additional EventLogging.
