[Wikimetrics] Updates to Wikimetrics

[Kevin Leduc]

Dear Wikimetrics Community,

The Wikimetrics website was updated yesterday (Thursday July 24, 2014) with
2 notable updates:

New Metric: Rolling Active Editor

You can select this new metric when creating a new report. For a given
day, it returns the number of active editors in your cohort based on the
last 30 day window from your target date. We recommend you always use the
default/canonical settings of a 30 day window and 5 edits so you can
compare apples to apples. The scientific definition is here
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Rolling_monthly_active_editor .


Changes to the JSON Output of Public Scheduled Reports

This will only affect those running Public Scheduled reports (a handful of
users). Data in the JSON output file has been grouped into a more concise
format.

One little known issue: Rolling Active Editor can be quite slow at times.
It may take a few minutes to get your data as opposed to the usual few
seconds. We're looking into it.
