I think it would be better to just let people download the raw data (like the database dump). Then people can do their analysis on top (like, I could produce the stats I just told you about)


Actually what would be cool would be to release the data, and hold a contest related to it. Maybe one award track for interesting analysis, one for presentation of data. You could probably get some companies to sponsor it, as it's cheap advertising that people will be interested in viewing. Plus someone might be able to write up a paper on it for journal publication.
