I'd think that a lot of Skritter users are numbers folks, and it would be nice to be able to export some of the statistics.

I'd love to be able to get the following:
1. export of the "Progress" data (by day/week/month) over any time frame
2. export stats on each word/character being studied (for each part): retention, last studied time, time for next quiz... (basically the same data as the table when you click on a word).

#1, in theory, I can scrape from the website by downloading the appropriate progress page for each time period since I started Skritter.

#2 would be great for me to see which words I haven't seen in a while. Sometimes I get quizzed on words that I don't remember seeing for weeks, even though I don't think I had learned it "that well".

The amount of data for #1 isn't too large, so a simple text export would be easy.
#2 would be a bit more complicated and require a lot of DB inquiries, so I understand the problem with that...

I'm working on an API. Sounds like you may have the programming chops to use it. Want me to email you more infos? I can use this as something to try and hook up.

Would be nice, then I can stop update my spreadsheet with weekly day to day data... I was just curious to see how detailed week data compared with study time looked over a longer period, I can say no surprises showed up ;)

Not sure what you mean by 'number people' :P

As long as I can use wget to download the data, I'm good. (For my normal scope of programming, it's not necessary to do networking code when I can just download the appropriate web (page) data).
