So, first off: Ironholds made all the numbers used in this metrics meeting available in the tool at http://pentaho.wmflabs.org/pentaho/Home
I'm not going to repost the username/password here, but find me (or Ironholds?) on IRC if you're interested in exploring the data.

Ok. With that said, here are some thoughts about the numbers, with some copy & paste from IRC:
Q: RoanKattouw: Ironholds: Re the India language graph (97% of hits from India being to enwiki), we are now idly wondering what places are more diverse in those terms RoanKattouw: Like, maybe the USA? RoanKattouw: Is the Spanish- speaking internet more than 3% of the US internet? RoanKattouw: cscott: Basically my question is, what is the % of enwiki hits in the US. Apparently for India it's 97%
A: zhwiki and/or eswiki are the top non-enwiki sites in the US; they account for about 1% of traffic. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Cscott/2014_December_metrics and cscott-us-proj.saiku on pentaho.
Q: cscott: also i'm very curious about, say, the rise of iran traffic -- is that to enwiki or fawiki? cscott: in general, is the global south reading enwiki? or is mobile traffic to the local wikis exploding?
A: Almost all due to enwiki traffic. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Cscott/2014_December_metrics cscott-ir-proj-2.saiku on pentaho, and attached graph.
Q: cscott-free: another question: does the decrease in latin america correspond to a decrease in the eswiki project?
A: The presented slide listed the following among the "Top Decliners":
Country, Month page views (billion), Annual growth rate Ecuador, 0.04, -30.5% Venezuela, 0.09, -28.0% Portugal, 0.05, -23.8% Mexico, 0.34, -23.2% Colombia, 0.14, -23.2% Chile, 0.08, -22.3% Brazil, 0.32, -21.0% Peru, 0.06, -17.8%
Countries in the top 25% by total human PVs as of October 2014; annual growth rates based on linear model (May 2013-October 2014)
I'm still working on figuring out the answer to this one. As far as I can tell, eswiki page views are pretty flat, and eswiki page views in Ecuador (for instance) are down a little, but now by 30% annually. So there's something mysterious here.
Possibly related: commons page views in latin america dropped sharply starting in 2014-06, after mediaviewer was turned on. But that doesn't seem to be quite enough. --scott
