Thank you all for your nice words!
I am very much looking forward to serve the community and the foundation further in this new position. Later this month (when back from holiday) I will publish a list of ideas for improving and extending wikistats, so that everyone can comment on it. Topics on the list range from technical improvements for current scripts (foremost to improve performance) to rough ideas on whole new areas of analysis. As Brion already indicated, incorporating and extending Domas' work on visitor statistics will initially be my primary focus. Erik Zachte
