Thanks to today beeing a holiday in Austria (on 26.th October 1955 Austria declared it will be neutral for all eternity, thus ending occupation by USA, UK, USSR and France after WW2) I spend some time on CPANTS.
I finally managed to prepare everything for and set up a cronjob to run CPANTS every week (for now). The cronjob starts at 5am each saturday. It takes about 3 hours, so fresh data should be available at aprox 8am.
I also generate some very simple HTML pages available from
The reports currently consist of some nice diagrams generated with GD::Graph, but I plan to add more (especially one showing the average Kwalitee over time)
I found some more time between bringing the kids to bed and going to the Austrian Big Brother Awards to hack up a "average kwalitee over time"-chart. Which shows that average kwalitee went up 0.00145. Wow!

How many absolute points is that?That's and average of 10.5 (out of a possible 13, so it's higher than I expected, but I didn't bother to calculate the standard deviation).sqlite> select count(*) from kwalitee;
7739
sqlite> select sum( kwalitee ) from kwalitee;
81262
From last time, it looksThat's an average of 10.7 (out of 14), but I didn't take the time to adjust for the extra point. Curiously, the distribution count is a lot higher.albook_brian[804]$ sqlite ~/File*/Kwa*/cpants-20041008.db

Hmmm.... must investigate, but I need to do other things right now.:) Re:more diagrams!

Please keep in mind that both data generation and analysis is still very much in ALPHA stage. While I try hard to generate reasonable results, they might still be dodgy.
Hey, that sounds like a reasonable disclaimer I should stick to all CPANTS-pages...
