Hi Y Combinator, Could publish visitor analytics in aggregate for hackernews?

I'd love to see browser/version, operating system and geography by year and total to date.

This would be useful for those building software that targets this community.

Thank you for considering,

-Boaz

Couldn't you get similar information (except the history) from any google analytics for a page that was popular here? I would email some owners for sites now in the top 10. Or submit your own page, with this goal, promising to open the stats once you gathered them.

I'll leave this up for the next week or so and publish the results next week (if there's enough interest, of course).
