Some near to mid-term changes that might be useful for everyone chiming in:
* Active Editors across all wikis is a metric we're working on, and it will be part of Wikistats 2 sometime this fiscal year * The new mediawiki history dataset will let you download data for all wikis and crunch these numbers and much more: https://dumps.wikimedia.org/other/mediawiki_history/readme.html (we're close to publishing this but there's sample data for last August) Maybe a little showcase talk is in order once the above two are completed?
