Some folks over at Wikipedia Signpost asked if they could use some of the barcharts I’ve been posting here recently. They needed the graphs to be released with a free license, which was a good excuse to slap a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 license on all the content here at inkdroid. I’m kinda ashamed I didn’t think of doing this before…
I was also asked how easy it would be to generate the .gov and .edu graphs, as well as top level domains. I already had the hostnames exported, so it was just a few greps, sorts and uniqs away. I’ve included the graphs and the full data files below. My friend Dan Chudnov suggested that plotting this data on a logarithmic scale would probably look better. I think he’s probably right, but I just haven’t gotten around to doing that yet. It’s definitely something I will keep in mind for an app that allowed this slicing and dicing of the Wikipedia external links data.
