That's exactly the kind of thing I'd like to be able to do. For instance, I'd love to know which categories have the highest success rates, etc.

That sounds like an interesting project. Create a spider that crawls funding sites (more and more each day it seems) and collects statistics and timelines.

It could even search for references to individual projects on the popular search engines, to gather data on what sources for attention have what kinds of impact on which kinds of projects, etc.
