             Bug #: 42299
           Summary: use aggregate data rather than individual
                    contributions
           Product: MediaWiki extensions
           Version: master
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: ContributionReporting
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]
                CC: [email protected]
    Classification: Unclassified
   Mobile Platform: ---


It's horribly inefficient to rebuild the reporting from individual
contributions.  It's also pointless to ever rebuild in real-time (triggered by
expired cache).

Instead, I propose aggregating from a cron job, or in the db trigger -- a
trigger on public_reporting could update public_reporting_days, along these
lines:
new_total = cur_total + amount;
new_number = cur_number + 1;
new_average = (cur_average * cur_number + amount) / new_number;
