@Hay: Thank you. The site is still in very early stage of development.
We would like to get constructive criticism from the wikipedians from this
list first.
Our resources are very limited and we cannot include all other wiki
projects now. What languages would you like to see first? What projects?
Commons is a good idea, but I am not sure many people use these stats.

@Alex: that's really awesome. Thanks for providing
a stats.grok.se
alternative. Really looking forward to other languages as well, and
maybe throw in Commons in the mix as well?

Hi Magnus,
Only en.wp for now. We will wait and see how popular it is before adding
other projects.
You cannot limit data range in csv now, but the size of the response is
usually < 10 KB.
By the way, many thanks for your great work!
Regards,
Alex
