I also had in mind something along those lines. I started "collecting stats"
(well, just saving the stats.html page to my hard disk) once every hour,
ever since September 14 (so that's just over 1,100 files so far), using a
program written in C#. If you want, I can send you my data. I don't know any
PHP though (though it's similar to C++, and it's on my list of languages to
learn right after Python :) ). I'd suggest developing your own robust Xml
schema for saving the old data, decoupling the Html-parsing code from the
Xml saving code, so you can go back and aggregate stats any time you want.


While that is an interesting suggestion, I think a mysql database is
much better suited for the job then an XML file.

If you want to send your stats I would be happy to add them to my
history, although my current resolution is every half hour (which is how
often the Steam page updates) and your resolution is one hour. Should be
a simple problem to solve though.
