Maybe wikicharts already has this (if it does, I
apologize), and maybe it doesn't, but I occasionally enjoy glancing at Google's
Zeitgeist page (
http://www.google.com/press/zeitgeist.html ) to get a sense of what
other people are clicking (i.e. rather than an
absolute number of views, it shows what's topical, presumably based on a formula that
combines of number of page views together with
a percentage increase, to see filter for things that are both topical and of general
interest). Would something like this maybe be
possible for wikicharts, so as to get a weekly "Wikipedia Zeitgeist" to see
what's hot?
I was thinking that too. Probably easy to do, simply by analysing the
logs for the last week rather than all time, or whatever.
