I wish there was something this easy to show stats on a web page that 
show like oon the OSGRID web site.  Number of users, how many on in a 
month, regions and so on.   a nice tidy user stats.  Without having to 
install and change the basic downloadable binary from opensimulator.org 
to much.  You know what I mean, without switching to Diva or Simian or 
something else.

Any hints?  This is a great way to start that kind of thinking.  ;)

(not stealing the thread) This is the kind of think I am talking about.  
I'm noiot quite ready to open publically, but was hoping this kind of 
thing would come soon.  I have worked 3 years on my grid used the 
download from OSGRID first then the binaries right from the 
opensimulator.org site.    I am used to this with my poor vision.  To me 
changing to another flavor of OS would be a pain.  Lets suport James's work.
