The answer is, we don't know what we want to show yet - hence the idea to
gather data in version 1.5, release it for analysis (and you can be sure
people will analyse the data any way they can think of - per page, per
editor, per aspect, etc.) and see what would make sense to do with the data
and how to present it.

It's all hypothetical until we have actual data.
