The trending articles are really nice, Ed! It would be nice to add tooltips for the bot/person/(whatever the red things are) icons; those icon-based filters are a nice addition!

Hi all,
Just a quick heads up to let you know I added some statistics gathering to wikistream.inkdroid.org for displaying "trending" articles. Trending articles are just articles ranked by how many times they were edited in the current hour or day (relative to GMT). I added similar stats for editors and bots. Since I just deployed the code, the numbers for today aren't complete, but they should be going forward.
I wanted to store the stats from the past hour and past 24 hours using a rolling window. But this proved trickier (for me) to do w/ the Redis backend that I was already using for streaming the updates (pub/sub). It should be possible, but I thought I would make a start, and see if it was worth the extra effort. Let me know what you think, if anything comes to mind.
