First, I'd like to see the stats in a "real" database,  mySQL and mSQL
jump to mind, but I do not know the license on them and yes, there is
more setup/work to get them running, but the payoff would be great.
Like phtml-ing stuff out of the database in a dynamic fashion.

But a good second, could be simple comma-seperated-values and a set of
small tools to convert from csv to html. Or cvs2msql, etc.

A good third would be tools to pull the stuff out of the old format
into cvs or html.

Just my random thoughts.
