Use end of week for displaying usage date ranges

The dates are for the beginning of the week. So if your release was made on the 17th any usage for that week will be listed for the entire week starting on the 14th.

The statistics are scheduled to be processed once a week on Sundays. So when you posted this issue on the 24th the 14th-20th's statistics should have been available. If they were not there might have been a problem running the script but I have no specific knowledge of that point.

I think part of the problem here is that the help message isn't being displayed on all the project usage pages. I've opened #352424: Help not displayed on all usage pages to fix this.

Yes, #352424: Help not displayed on all usage pages is part of the problem, but I think it would be more intuitive all the way around if the display date was the end of the week. Lots of people have been confused by this, and more help text (which people skim and tune out) isn't going solve the problem. I don't think using the end dates would hurt anything. We wouldn't even have to change any of the backend code, just the display dates. Should be a relatively small patch...

I agree with Pasqualle—I think that the usage statistics should report "Week ending 17 January" rather than "Week beginning 11 January". It is just another way of presenting the same information, obviously, but it would continuously give the impression that the stats were a little more up to date, at no cost of any change to how the data is collected or processed.

The tables and charts of course only say "11 Jan" and personally I initially assumed that it was the week up to 11 Jan that was being reported, rather than what it actually is—until I went and read the docs. That suggests the current approach may be counterintuitive and thus not the best presentation.

Whoops, no intention to change the task->feature request necessarily. For some reason, when I initially viewed this page I hadn't seen #3.

This is an old one, but still active I believe.

I still think this should be changed for d.o stats. I'm working on improving the documentation for the statistics currently and I actually thought the publishing of stats had a delay for a few days - before I now see that it is publishing stats for the week starting the Sunday before.

I think it makes sense to publish stats valid for the specific date. The end of the specified week is when the number is relevant to, right?

I suspect this can be merged with #2638604: Project usage statistic dates off by one day.
