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.
