Based on the backup function, I wrote a script that calculates the total
number of Journal entries 
(among all users) for each activity. My idea was to infer the favorite
activities.. but I need 
some heuristics because counting created entries alone is kind of
misleading. 

Anyways, if its  of any use the code is here:

http://git.paraguayeduca.org/gitweb/users/rgs/xs-scripts.git?js=1

(the script name is get-journal-stats.py).

Cheers,
Raúl

P.S.: I feed the output of the script to another (Ruby) script that
gives me nice pie charts.. 
but you could do that easily with almost anything (gnuplot, oocalc,
etc.).
