Subject: [Analytics] Monthly compressed traffic delay
Hello,
I'm inquiring about the delay for publishing the January compressed
Wikistats files that are maintained by Erik Zachte. I'm guessing those
processes are given a low priority compared to the content backups that need
to run. More generally, I'm interested in finding new ways that I can help
out. I'm an ex-Microsoftie who is now on the fraud analytics team at TD
Bank. I've been involved with the Wikimedia group in Atlanta. I organize the
picnic each summer, and helped get the rest of the historic buildings
photographed. I've dabbled in reverting vandalism, and I contribute to
articles when I actually have something to contribute. I don't feel like
I've settled into a contributor role that really fits me yet though.
I enjoy using a variety of the traffic data sets that Wikimedia publishes.
It seems the traffic servers get bogged down sometimes though. Can I help?
Should I try to get the Atlanta group to pool our donations this year for an
extra computer?
Thanks,
Michael
