Need to make sure we don't underestimate the problem and the amount of work.

Database Design

Asher: hash index?
You don't need to worry about managing uniqueness.
Would be better to do a composite key on the columns you need, rather than combining them into a hash

history

Nimish did work to make it easy to get metrics via API in JSON or XML.
- this isn't a big deal to start over
Eric Zachte has a bunch of scripts to extract data.
Sam did some work (might be a a lot).
- Exposes database as webservice via mediawiki

API

In web.py or other framework, or as MediaWiki extension?

Let's do MediaWiki

Decisions

use new db schema
rewrite scripts in python or whatever, but make use of what we can as soon as we can.
make things as modular as possible.
Use MediaWiki extension for API.
