I see they are running again as of a couple of days ago. Thank you. I've also seen
some threads talking about larger, upcoming changes to the traffic statistics data. Looks
interesting. Please let me know if I can help. Personally, I'm drifting towards
investigations on how to enhance story idea generators with structured knowledgebases.
Like, given a couple of random Wikipedia articles and a story theme from TVTropes, search
through the type hierarchies and properties and dependencies of those articles to find an
interesting way to stitch them together within the constraints of the randomly chosen
story theme or setting.

It appears the monthly compressed traffic file generation has stopped again. It looks like
the daily compressed files stopped generating on May 9th. Can we restart this process? I
haven't looked at the hourly files recently. Perhaps there was another format change
that caused it to crash.

Michael, a quick heads-up: So I finally found the time to look into this.Sorry that it
took so
long.https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T90230Bug has been analyzed and fixed. The
underlying problem is a record in an hourly pageview dump with empty title. My script now
patches such records with title '-no-title-'.I filed a separate bug for that:
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T90629 Daily aggregation has been restarted and
successfully processed data for Jan 27. Now it will take a day or two to catch up.

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
