Will do so. I'm still tweaking the UI to make it adapt to small screen/window

• Shorter but slightly more cryptic texts (abbreviations)
• No or very basic popups for country/region details
• In general less interactivity below a certain resolution, e.g. some buttons get disabled
• Legend and about info migrate to separate window

I'm getting closer. Work in progress version not online yet.

iOS quirks also add some complexity.

Before I do draft blog, I'll add an introduction page on meta which can serve as introduction/help/reference page.

Thanks @Erik_Zachte - please let me know when a blog post is ready to edit!

I just published a new version at https://stats.wikimedia.org/newviz

It's feature complete.
UI has been streamlined, and seems to behave well, at least on my browser (fingers crossed).
(minor quirks on iOs still)

The UI adapts to windows size.
On small windows all metrics are always shown as icons, on large windows that is optional.
Red region markers can be hidden (e.g. for screenshot).

Please try both modes (use button top left):
1 Wikipedia pageviews, share to language xxx
2 Pageviews per capita to any Wikipedia in June 2017

I'll proceed with introduction/help/reference page on meta,
Then will look at ideas for blog post.

I coined the viz. WiViVi, for Wi kipedia Vi ews Vi sualized.

There is now a documentation page on meta: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WiViVi

Note that this page does not link to the viz. yet, so please don't tweet yet.
Documentation needs to be vetted, and I found a few small bugs.

data files have been described at https://stats.wikimedia.org/wikimedia/animations/pageviews/data.html

some interesting cases have been added to blog post https://docs.google.com/document/d/1R1lPXQGN_pNEUm8zpgaZZKyTwEx6qbO66YxtseOFc6M/edit

• Turkey
• Traffic to Chinese Wikipedia from China and Taiwan
• Geography follows history

and images (too many, pick and choose)

Thanks @Erik_Zachte - please let us know when it's ready for a peek!

viz now works in Edge browser (with workaround for Edge bug where mouseover fails)
viz now works in iOS without javascript workarounds, instead issues have been solved in CSS
added splash screen, for basic introduction
cleaned html with W3C validator

I spent (too) much time to make the viz adapt to any screen size, gracefully degrading to less functionality and smaller texts on small screens
this makes the code more complex and may need some cleaning up
(I know now that CSS can help here, but that is a new paradigm for me), and probably also complex, given that content get adjusted, not only layout

after last layout tweaks the viz should be ready for vetting, within one or two days

Thanks @Erik_Zachte, who would you like to get input from on this? Mel and I? The research team?

https://stats.wikimedia.org/newviz.html now redirects to newest beta: https://stats.wikimedia.org/wikimedia/animations/pageviews/datamaps-views-v06.html
documentation: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WiViVi

when the viz. goes live, I will tweet url https://stats.wikimedia.org/wivivi instead. I'm hoping to do that August 2 or 3, one week before Wikimania, with July data loaded

@DarTar I'm looking at you and @MelodyKramer first, and with Wikimania fast approaching I'd rather not claim too much time from others, but if people want to take a peek, by all means, I'd love hear from others :-)

special request: I would love to get feedback from someone with Android, as I haven't been able to test that platform

hmm in Chrome
https://stats.wikimedia.org/newviz still redirects to https://stats.wikimedia.org/wikimedia/animations/pageviews/datamaps-views-v03.html
https://stats.wikimedia.org/newviz.html redirects to https://stats.wikimedia.org/wikimedia/animations/pageviews/datamaps-views-v06.html

Some feedback:

• I like the interstitial but I'd like to make some some changes to the copy and maybe ask @MelodyKramer to chime in too, can we put the text somewhere where it can be edited?
• The main control should be "Continue" and the read more should be a link, otherwise most people will click the button and leave the visualization
• I would select "skip next time" by default, expecting most people won't want to see the interstitial twice
• The HTML title should be a human and search engine friendly title, currently displays the window size

Text:

This map, Wikipedia pageviews, percentage to language X, shows the relative 'popularity' of any particular Wikipedia language version in different countries.
A second map, Pageviews per capita to any Wikipedia, focuses on in which countries an average person requests most Wikipedia articles, regardless of language.
(switch between maps with button top-left)

Info panels reveal details about the selected language (button 'Breakdown ..') or any country (hover over it).
Metrics include population size, percentage connected to internet, monthly views, etc.
link 'Read more'
button 'Continue' checkbox 'Skip this next time'
