Hi there! Everything below the line was generated from a .php script and a small table in MySQL. It is an automated process and takes about 3-4 minutes to perform the download (bulk of the time) from the special contributions page for the user, generate the stats and the two graphs. Of course, if Wikipedia is running slowly, this time may vary dramatically :-).

The stats should be pretty straight forward, but I'll explain the less obvious ones.

Days is the total number of days between "First Edit" and "Last Edit".
Active days count as any day that at least one edit has been made.
Avg edits/page is the same formula that Kate uses, I believe (because I keep getting the same answer as she does).
Avg edits/active days is the total number of edits divided by active days. True sense of effort put forth on days editing.
Avg edits/all days is the total number of edits divided by the total number of days referenced above.

On the chart, the blue bars represent total edits for that day, the blue line represents cumulative edits and the orange line represents a rolling average of edits per day.

Since the load on the server for this is no greater than paging through a user's list of contributions, it should not be an issue to turn this into a tool for anyone to use. It is obviously not as fast as "Kate's Tool" but I also wouldn't run this very often, either.

Any comments or suggestions are appreciated!
