Will the infographics ever be recompiled?

I liked them. Could very well be the same stats, just 1,5 years later, to see the changes.

I agree, would be cool to see updated infographics.

How about updating them automatically? Monthly would be nice (doesn't need to be daily)

That would be cool. Each quarter year would be enough.

Any new (possible) development on this?

It may very well happen that they get updated. But the latest thing is that we actually removed them.

Compiling new data takes a LOT of effort. The only report that we should be able to automatically regenerate is the one for BadgeGen, but the code has gotten a bit broken over time.

Also it's important to understand that it takes several days to calculate the data. I don't remember the exact time, maybe it was a week even.

If we had the time and resources, we would try to produce something new every month, that could include coming back to BadgeGen and then comparing them as well. But right now, we don't have those resources.

The BadgeGen report might not look as much, but it was a week of full-time work behind it. The thing with those reports is that you never know what you will get in the end. A lot of data digging was made, finding conclusions, digging new data based on that and so on. It's also common that we dig for one thing but realize it wasn't true or wasn't interesting, then we have to find something else.

Then we have all the data, it needs to be compiled into a decent look report as well.

In short, it's a lot of work, a lot.

May be good to start a conversation where the work is split into many people, each having his well knwon domain and competence. Would be great from GC-P to allow for the infrastructure like this Q&A or add an appart structure allowing to make the work together, present it as a whole, with a common frame or guidelines for publication. 

Any suggestion about such fraamework (like this framework used for support Powered by Question2Answer | PGC Theme, based on Snow Theme by Q2A Market)?

In short, it's impossible to create such reports or know what to actually show without digging in the data, testing and digging again. We can not let users dig around in Groundspeak's data in that way. Neither can we supply the database backend for it.
