Statistics RSS feed format

[arkasha]

SO:

<title>, <link> and <description> are the fields we have to play with.

The statistic name, statistic values, and links to anything you can make a link to in the site are the values we have to play with. what would people like to see where?


http://wigle.net/gps/gps/StatRSS/wiglestats.xml
is the current contents.

How would people feel about being able to authenticate (usual wigle means) in order to get *your* stats in addition to the basic feed?

I think it would be great to offer a few different formats to choose from.

Personally I use the Mozilla FireFox Live Bookmark (default) feature so I just like to click the Live bookmark on my toolbar to bring up all the stats I can to monitor WiGLE's up-to-date progress at a glance.

For example right now with the link you posted I only see this:


I would prefer to see something more useful like this:

Code: Select all

<title>Current Total Nets: 5,205,897</title>

I would also like to see the current items with addition of the Current Process Queue!

The linking probably doesn't matter because it all leads to the same stats page. It would only matter for something that would be on different hyperlinks.

As for my personal stats I can keep track of those without needing to leak out more information than necessary. I don't even think the ranking table changes fast enough to want to be interested in keeping track of say the top 10. Thinking about it the last 10 uploaders to upload sorted by "last post" would be interesting if anything. It would be really cool to also show how much they have uploaded at the time, though this granularity is not currently present on the stats page (it is a monthly chunk instead).

I think just the up to date data updated every hour or something would suffice my needs as well as most others.
