Perhaps you want to add some graphs to your site. There are free javascript libraries for that (for example: Flot/Flotr), I use them here http://toolserver.org/~emijrp/wmcharts/ (bars, lines, charts...)
Thanks for sharing your code (mine is available too).

I imagine something like this has already been done before, but I thought I would mention it as a curiosity:
Wikitrends http://inkdroid.org/wikitrends/
Wikitrends is a display of the top 25 view articles on English Wikipedia in the latest hour. It relies on stats that Wikimedia make available [1]. If you hover over the article you should get the article summary (courtesy of the MediaWiki API), and there are canned search links of realtime Google and Twitter and Facebook search if you want to look at what people might be saying about the topic.
I put the code up on Github [2] and wrote a brief blog entry about the process of putting the app together. The punchline that I was trying to work up to is that it is truly wonderful that Wikimedia makes an effort to make its data assets available on the Web, both via an API and as bulk downloads. It is a great role model for other organizations and institutions.
Thanks! //Ed
