Srikanth, Good work. And thanks for sharing.
Since in this we are calculating edits per day, new users per day, new articles per day, and so on, I feel it will be good if those details are displayed instead of the current total edits/users/articles. In fact for daily analysis that data is more valubale than total edits/users. I know for developers like you it is just one line of code. But for non-developer users like me it makes big difference. :) Also is is it possible to get the data of number of users who do at least 5 edits per day. I know that makes sense only for very active wikipedias. But still it is a good metric I suppose. Thanks once again for sharing this.
