So, the goal is to keep an historic archive of pageview activity, right?
Correct
And I can imagine the «pageview» has been designed to be suitable for data
processing (API's, etc). Isn't it?
Yes, more for automated parsing/compute than for human readability.
And if you're looking to help improve the
documentation, then we very much
welcome that, and I can point you in the right
direction as well.
I would really like to be able to do it.
