Has anyone done this already, or is it just me who thinks it would be 'nice to have' (though certainly not an essential feature)?
Would be good to be able to do things like analyse activity:
- total messages per user, not just for all time as is available under Members link, but for specified time periods such as per year, or for each of the last twelve months
- graph of messages by day, or by time of day, i.e. which is our busiest/quietist time of day / day of year / week of year
- perhaps statistics on who is posting new threads, and who is responding (likely not to be the same people)
Clearly the data is all there in the database already, so it just requires extracting in a query and presenting for display.
I see it more as a fun/nice thing than an essential, but then again once you start analysing data some interesting patterns can lead to interesting ideas, so who knows where it might lead...
Happy new year to all
