+1 to 30 day sliding window.

We could use a moving 30 day window. If we update the definition slightly to say that an active editor is an editor that has made at least 5 edits in the last 30 days (effectively what's happening now), we can generate that every day.

Hi,
our current definiton of „active editor” [1]:
An 'active editor' is a registered (and signed in) person (not known as a bot) who makes 5 or more edits in any month in mainspace on countable pages.
is centered around months. That's good.
However, as we are seeing requests to produce daily graphs: How to interpret the above definition in terms of active editors for a given /day/?
Especially: How to do it in a way that blends nicely with the current month-based definition?
Best regards, Christian
P.S.: I've seen code in our repos that just looks for edits of the last 30 days. That sounds nice. But if I am doing 3 edits on 2013-07-01, and another 3 on 2013-07-31, I would not be considered active editor by this daily approach for any day. However, I'd be an active editor for July using [1] :-/
