I can think of many possible ways of expanding this tool – for example, a time range selector with a plot of the frequency of edits over time, for example: I expect people will be interested in replaying parts of an article history when edit wars happen or watch collaboration around trending topics/breaking news, I'm not sure the first N revisions are always the most interesting ones.

A tally of unique contributors displayed at each frame would also be helpful. 2) how do you expect to handle very large articles (where you cannot fit the entire body of the article in a browser window)? Having to scroll to see what's happening below or above the fold seems to defy the purpose of a high-level visualization of edit activity. 3) are you going to host this on Labs?

That email was prompted by a conversation that Siko, Jessie and I had. Basically, part of Jeph's grant involves an evaluation of Replay Edits, for which he would need to log views and/or other usage data, potentially using some analytics package like Google Analytics (or possibly he can gain limited access to EventLogging?). Since it sounds like GA is discouraged/forbidden on Labs, it might not be ideal for him to host the project there initially--unless there's some more effective way for him to gather the usage data he needs.

Is there a way to log the username of the user if he is signed into

From the gadget, yes. From the standalone, no. I don't believe you can

Should we just settle for the ip, time spent, article visualized &

Is it ok to log userinfo from a userscript ?

Should we only use the DB count? & How do we measure the usage of

Hi, - The standalone version ( http://cosmiclattes.github.io/wikireplay/player.html) - This will be on a different domain than en.wikipedia or the other namespaces , (Toolabs, github.io etc) - Is there a way to log the username of the user if he is signed into wikipedia ? - Should we just settle for the ip, time spent, article visualized & revisions visited as metrics. - The gadget - Is it ok to log userinfo from a userscript ? - Should we only use the DB count ? - How do we measure the usage of usescripts , since they can't be counted from the DB like the gadgets ?

OAuth isn't really recommended for this either (cases where you're not actually taking any action on a Wikimedia wiki) for security reasons (which someone else could probably explain better.
