Thanks for your contributions, they're very cool :)

Have you tried using the statistics apis I mentioned above?

I haven't used them yet so I can't refer you to some code snippet but  
they're used on the Admin.Stats page (it'll be empty if you haven't  
turned on stats in xwiki.cfg). There are also apis for them in $xwiki  
and in $context (you'll need to check the XWiki and Context java  
classes though to know more).

Note that we also have a jira issue for refactoring the Admin.Stats  
page:

Thanks
