The file wikimedia-mostused-2011.txt should be updated, so that the translation group core-0-mostused at translatewiki.net can be updated.
I'm moving this out of Translate component. Perhaps we could use EventLogging together with the new hook in message cache and suitable sampling to as a way to collect data this time.

For previous versions, this took about 30 minutes of Tim Starling's time to gather the data, IIRC.
Tim is difficult to reproduce on demand. It's been three weeks since this bug was filed, and years since data was collected last time.

Typically it happens at the hackathon, so we have hopes. :) Copying here a comment I made some time ago on <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Language_proposal_policy>: «the WMF could give assistance in updating the "500 most used" core messages, and adding a second "1500 most used" (or whatever) core+extensions messages (measured in a way that ensures the most used messages on e.g. Wikisource only are all included too)». Whatever is measured in the end (even just core), it would be nice to ensure it represents all Wikimedia projects (maybe Tim's method already does but we don't know).

I was wondering, was that a live hack or is there a commit on some wmf branch in SVN? The code may also be available to shell users on Tim's home directory on fenari or whatever; it takes a couple minutes to look it up.

There's a patch set somewhere in Subversion, I think (or maybe in Gerrit already). I say that, because I think I remember he reverted that to stop profiling.
r88126, but nothing in https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Code/MediaWiki&path=%2Fbranches%2Fwmf&author=tstarling or anything else around the time.
