Hi all.
The Libresoft Group, at Universidad Rey Juan Carlos (Madrid), has started to generate a bunch of interesting metric graphics about Wikipedia.
These graphics currently include histograms about article size. They will soon also include, for instance, caracterization of several important groups of authors and their evolution in time (much in the way Jimbo Wales exposed a few months ago).
We plan to extend these results to all language versions of Wikipedia.
As these graphics complement current wikimetrics info about the project, generated by Erik Zatche's scripts, we wonder about the better place to release them, in case Wikimedia is interested (under a GPL license).
Could we include them in an "official repository page" with metrics about Wikipedia? Should we place only a link to a server of our own? Which could be the better place to create those links?
Thanks a lot.
Regards.
Felipe Ortega.

I hope the developers give you a nice answer. ;-)
I wanted to thank you for your effort, and encourage you to continue with this line of research. Understanding our projects through data is an important and focused task many choose not to engage; thank you to you and your colleagues for their work.
/me is excited to see what you have wrought.

Hello Felipe,
You can probably create a new bunch of articles on http://meta.wikipedia.org and uploads the pictures on http://commons.wikimedia.org (since they are GPL).
We can probably host them at stats.wikimedia.org too :)

Wouldn't a GFDL license be more adequate? GPL is intended to software...
Saludos Platonides
Well, yes! The GNU For Documents License is the precise one I should have mentioned :-o
Sorry, I usually abuse of the GPL ... Thanks for the adequate appointment, Platonides...
Thank you very much for the positive feedback. I will start to upload material as soon as possible.
Regards,
Felipe Ortega.
