Heya,
We have written down our latest thinking regarding the pageview api codename Hypercube. Two recent developments: 1) We will scope down the time window that can initially be queried to somewhere in the range of 1 to 3 months. 2) We have some outlines for an api to query the data.
Please visit https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Analytics/Hypercube and chime on the talk page with your comments!

Thanks for kicking this off. A general pageviews API would be hugely useful for lots and lots of use cases, both for WMF and the world at large.
