[Mediawiki-l] collect contributions of multiple users

[Jim Hu]

It's not hard to write a special page to do this.  We made something  
to distinguish contributions by our staff (vast majority) from those  
made by our community users (very very few, alas):

	http://ecoliwiki.net/colipedia/index.php/Special:User_contribution_statistics

That page is a kludge where I've hard-coded in the userids to exclude  
and committed various other coding sins.  But a cleaner version would  
be pretty easy to write... and I probably should work on a cleaner  
version.  It could be useful, for example, for instructors to monitor  
the changes made by students in a class.  But I'm fuzzy on what it  
should look like.
