Er, thanks. But I would like to reiterate that I don't want any special 
Wikimedia office. However, I do understand that certain things simply need to 
get done, so if nobody else who is qualified, motivated and trustworthy wants 
it, then I'll be the treasurer (which is a very important, yet not very 
sought after, officer postion).

That would be neat, but just make sure it is clear that the money is for the  
Wikimedia Foundation and not just for Wikipedia. It might also be neat to 
think of ways to make your stats script Wikimedia wide, without confusing the 
distinction between articles, entries, quote pages, and modules (not to 
mention project-specific counts).

Every bit helps! 

BTW, in the next update of the wonderful stats script you wrote, could you 
change each use of "Phase III" to "MediaWiki" and maybe provide a link to 
http://mediawiki.org ?
