Good, thanks!

Nice document. I agree with most of it and find it a very reasonable
solution. I just don't find how you plan to tackle point 6 in your list,
i.e.,
  There is the odd client which goes wild and issues the same request
  over and over again, which can skew numbers very much.
This is indeed a significant problem in the case of OOo and it would be
nice to be able to set a "threshold" (say, 10 download per day) valid
for each IP address and ignore, in statistics, all downloads exceeding
it.

Currently, as far as I know, this is managed semi-manually through
interpolation of data from the previous days (but we don't have IP
addresses in the available data, so there is some guessing involved
too). Anyway, if the IP address is not lost in stored data and is made
available for processing, we could compute this correction at a later
stage.

Perfect, another nice and long-awaited feature!
