Hi! > Couldn't the stats job you want run on toolserver?
Really, this isn't much of foundation-l issue - we have been collecting and providing detailed article viewership statistics for over a year. People are building various applications on top of that data, like http://wikirank.com/en/Jimmy_Wales - and we already handle the data processing task. *shrug*, if anyone wants better standards, better interfaces, etc - it all can be achieved, in one way or another, without sacrificing privacy of our users. As I've stated and will state again, we will err towards privacy, if we have to err. toolserver could be vehicle for some of data analysis and aggregation, but currently users on it are not supposed to get private data either, nor it is able to scale with overall content delivery infrastructure. I'd like everyone to understand, that 'who reads what' is 1000x more data (and hence more privacy issues) than 'who edits what'. Just those who come and read about whatever they want to read, do not have representation on this mailing list, so we have to have that in mind too. We're building service for much much larger group of people, and interests of few should not be sacrificing privacy of everyone else.
