That's not a problem -- I've already hacked on my previous Perl script 
to do that if there's "previous" data available. You may see a sample 
on http://www.kvota.net/gnome24-stats/results-2003-08-18 -- it's 
simple, and should just give you the idea that it's not a problem (btw, 
you may notice that in this day alone one language jumped as much as 
8%, and foorayed into the supported languages category).

I'm not sure what would be the significance of the "average change", 
but it's simple to add -- it's already available in that list (at the 
bottom).

Ok, I've added that as well as the number of languages in each 
category. I'll remind that these are not correct for "cascading" 
languages like "en_GB", "en_CA", "es_SP", etc.

Of course, any ideas on how should I perform formatting of the file are 
welcome, especially with each request for "addition".

Nice to hear that -- so, you won't miss a thing ;-) Okay, next weekly 
release will contain the "changed from last week" too, so you'll be 
able to watch the progress more closely.

Again, any tips on the format of the text are welcome.

No, not at the moment. Though, Carlos is working on substanially 
improving status pages, and I expect this, and many other things to be 
possible (or at least easy to write separate tools to do it).

I think he likes everything to be put into Bugzilla as RFE for gnome-
i18n status pages, so he doesn't forget about it.
