Frederik,

I have a copy of every stats page for every day since I last did an
update. I'll work on getting the basic edit stats updated in the next
couple of weeks. As always its a time thing, but I have a presentation
myself on 26th so I need the figures too.

Yes, I have the edit figures for dhansen from the daily log. We just
need to extract his numbers from the total and we will have a rough
idea of what the split is.
