Growing UserBase

Two weeks since I last wrote, and so much has happened that this feels a bit like a scatter-gun approach, to tell about everything.  Anyway, let’s start by looking at UserBase’s current statistics.
We now have 935 pages of content (how soon can we make it 1000?), disregarding the discussion pages, which have attracted 1,806,159 views!  A tremendous number.  Our registered member number has gone up too, to 819.  Still only a small proportion of members actively contribute, but that is noticeably more than it was a few months ago.  These are the top-10 contribution statistics for the past seven days (yes, eleven again):
Score Pages Changes Username
36   31   38   Claus chr
34   31   34   Annew
25   18   29   Qiii2006
16   14   15   Michael4910
12   5   17   Bogzab
9   6   8   PhrkOnLsh
8   5   8   Alisha
8   4   8   Luke
5     1   5   Pier
3   1   2     Mehmor
3   1   2   Plcl
Once more our translators account for a large number of edits, but it’s good to see some new names among the content providers as well, and the list can’t include the names of people who send content to me and ask me to add it.
When I look at the Popular Pages statistics, I am somewhat surprised at what I find, though.
Most viewed pages:
Kontact   313,826
Welcome to KDE UserBase   212,920
KMail   75,258
GPU-Performance   47,400
Tutorials   36,299
Akonadi   34,897
Applications   32,606
KOrganizer   26,461
An introduction to KDE   18,659
Plasma/FAQ/4.2   15,745
The kde-pim applications clearly are heavy attractors.  Although I expected that to some extent, I expected to see more emphasis on some of the other categories, such as Internet, or Multimedia.
Don’t go away – Part II follows shortly!

  • Hi Anne,

    It’s been on my todo list for a week or so to give UserBase a little more of a Wiki feel (linking application mentions to their userbase page, etc) along with expanding quite a few of the entries. As soon as time permits, I’ll get around to making UserBase even more awesome! 🙂

    @ Ryan: Those things would help a lot, thanks. I’m usually around on irc if we need to chat about entries.
