RecentlyPopular
An idea for a MediaWiki module which combines aspects of RecentChanges and PopularPages, showing what is popular only within recent timewindows.

Why?
Because 'RecentChanges' shows per-change view of recent edit history, and 'PopularPages' shows what has been seen most. Ever.
I want to see which pages have been edit-popular, and which pages have been view-popular, but only within recent timeframe windows (last day, week and month)
How
Recent Projects
Get recent edits in the last day, and give a 'top 10' pages which have been edited (by count of edits). Then repeat with a top 10 for the last week (excluding any pages previously shown in the per-day top 10), and a top 10 for the last month (again, excluding any previously seen).
Recent Popular Pages
Do the same but consider views, not edits. (assuming this data is available for views. Views might be only stored as a simple increment which would make this scheme not viable. I consider the edit view to be more useful anyway. (plus: this data is also available through any decent web stats program)
