I've been asked a few times recently about doing reports of the most-viewed pages per month/per day/per year/etc. A few years after Domas first started publishing this information in raw form, the current situation seems rather bleak. Henrik has a visualization tool with a very simple JSON API behind it (http://stats.grok.se), but other than that, I don't know of any efforts to put this data into a database.

That's correct. I owe everyone a longer writeup of our change in direction on that project which I have the raw notes for.
The short answer is that we've been having a tough time hiring the people we'd have do this work. Here are the two job descriptions: http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Job_openings/Software_Developer_Backend http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Job_openings/Systems_Engineer_-_Data_Ana...
Please help us recruit for these roles (and apply if you believe you are a fit)!
Thanks! Rob
