CountZero,
While I understand where you are coming from, try to think of it in a different light. While we do have monks from all over the world, the timestamp is a standard offset from GMT. That allows you to see heavy "usage" regardless of where monks are in the world. It is also not that difficult to adjust to local time.

I would love to add graphics, but that is a bit beyond my capabilities at this point. I had no idea how useful/wanted this type of thing would be and that is why I threw it out here for discussion. If someone would like to collaborate, I am more than happy to have them on board.

I am not sure what added benefit knowing things like the standard deviation would be, but I am willing to have a go at it if you think it is. I was expecting to hear people make requests like "Can you create a report where I can get all the day for a specific day i.e. my birthday?".

Cheers - L~R

    Indeed, I was of course looking to see a statistic on when the Monk's are most active (are we living/working at night or during the day?) in their own timezone.

    Silly me, I overlooked the fact that server stats deal with load on the server. Mea culpa

    For "easy" graphics have a look at Apache::GD::Graph. I used it with great success and I'm no graphic artist either.

    All these statistical numbers help you to better understand the data as a whole. You can have different data with the same average value but a different standard deviation and this will tell you something about the spread of the values through the data. So -IMHO- it does add something.
