Why not the amount of Activity Stream events during the last month? It's still very anonymous (since we don't know what exactly are these events) and relevant.
+ the amount of pages view during the last month (a wiki could have a lot of pages view meanwhile it is not edited often) I think these 2 metrics could be good indicators.
