Yes, this is clearly something that needs to be done
:-)
Totally cool!
I think jumbling them all together would make things a
bit less
interesting.
I agree.
Would it be best to have a drop down that lets you
select the project?
A drop down for 280 Wikipedia's would be somewhat hard to navigate.
What about a front page with all major projects
(Commons,Wikibooks,Wikinews,Wikipedia,Wikiquote,Wikisource,Wikiversity,Wikti
onary,Other projects)
sorted by name or total requests in the past hour, each linking to an
overview page for one project.
On that second page (or below that first list) you could list all languages
for that project, sortable by name or by total requests in the past hour,
each linking to a page like you have now.
Instead of a long sortable table you could have a swappable index, like e.g.

Awesome!
Followed by the obligatory "Could you please also ...." ;-)
In this case the dots stand for "add pages other Wikipedia wikis,
ideally also for other sister projects?"
All data are in the same file you use already.
Best, Erik Zachte

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!
