I don’t know of any easy way to get the total # of ideas though. A less than easy way is to grab that list, coerce it to comma separated values, and drop it into Excel. |
|
| |
But I’m an outsider. Maybe [jutta] or another insider has an easier approach. |
|
| |
just pasting that table into a spreadsheet and doing a sum: |
|
| |
Eliminate all inactive users and anyone with less than seven postings and the average will change substantially. |
|
| |
Links up perfectly with the FLFBG. Winnowing it down to the winnows. |
|
| |
//and anyone with less than seven postings// |
|
| |
Why would you want to remove those? |
|
| |
Because it's like saying that the average lifespan 100 years ago was fifty.
When you factor out infant mortality rates you find that many folks regularly made it to 80 or more. |
|
| |
6.9 ideas per user just seems low to me. |
|
| |
[mylodon] - how did you come up with your user count? I read it as 6287 users, giving an average of 9.18 ideas per user. |
|
| |
As for whether or not you should discard any data, it depends what you are trying to learn from the set. 88% of the users listed had 9 or fewer ideas - and the list doesn't include the unknown number of lurkers with 0 ideas. So the low average seems reasonable to me. |
|
| |
Another measure of activity (which I don't know how to collect) would be the total number of ANNOTATIONS per user. |
|
| |
don't let me near a calculator!
yes it's 6287 when i add correctly. |
|
| |
so instead gave you pastry on an old idea I missed. |

57,705 ideas..... this means that my ideas represent 2.816% of the halfbakery! |
|
| |
So you are no longer a 1%-er? |
|
| |
Wouldn’t a 1%-er be anyone who posted more than 577 ideas? As the top creator, [xenzag] is in a class by himself. Next closest would the late, lamented [8th_of_7], followed closely by [doctorremulac3] - who may need years to catch up. |
|
| |
Quite right, apologies. My mind was very elsewhere. |
|
| |
[a1] what fields did you change on the search page to get your results? |
|
| |
What did I change? Not sure what you’re asking, but to get the “low res” view - to make it easier to extract the result text - I added /lr/ in the first link I posted. I had to postfix that, no way to create or edit a low-res view. |
|
| |
The second link will let you see (and edit) the view specification. |
|
| |
I made a visualisation of the data. Its an interesting distribution. |
|
| |
How do you access the numbers? |

// How do you access the numbers? // |

I was waiting for someone to ask that :D |

Create a view that specifies a user by name. Then look at the URL it generates. The fu=### means “for user” - not a more common F.U. To figure out the highest numbered user account, I took the URL for my own number, added a couple hundred to that … and found nothing. Then did a binary search until I hit one where N had an account, and N+1 turned up nothing. |
|
| |
N turned out to be aniola. |

The Airplane Runway Clearance Light Pole Restander Upper has yet to gain traction at my local airports, even though it could be had in a package deal with the Airplane Runway Clearance Light Pole Knocker Downer. |
