Which is good, given the enormous amount of people's personal data that is collected in your country in the first place. May I suggest that you could just go with tradition and mislay an external hard drive full of log file data somewhere on a train ;-) But seriously, people demanding - or politely asking for - Apache log files is a topic that has been with us for as long as I can think. Steve once made a log file with API requests available in an anonymized way: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Database#Data_statistics And he also put a script there that does the anonymising. Maybe this can be repeated once every few months, and maybe it can also be run on tile access stats? I don't see why the creation of nifty access intensity images should be restricted to people with [EMAIL PROTECTED] - that's what we have a crowd for. Also, speaking as someone remotely involved in the setup of a national tile server architecture, such numbers would give people in various countries an idea of how much traffic to plan for once they set up their own servers. If one can manage to ignore the rather demanding and not exactly polite way in which Stefan was asking for information... the availability of anonymized log files, not even permanently, just a snapshot every now and then, would be a good for us all and I cannot think of a valid reason not to provide them, except of course the "I am the only one who has access and I have no time" argument, which, if used, should lead to granting access to additional trustworthy people who do have the time.
