And we already have some aggregated data about editors on stats.wikimedia.org squid repots, so it's surely not a privacy issue.

I'd be worried about using aggregation as a cureall, when, as others have pointed out, we have some very small wikis. But it can be done, especially when you check to make sure that (at whatever granularity you use for the geodata and timestamps) the resulting aggregated sets are always reasonably large.

Would it relieve some of the concerns if we limited publishing of subnational data to particularly large countries, like the United States, and particularly large projects, like the English Wikipedia?
