Hi,

There is an interesting discussion on wikitech-l about statistics. Tim has already generated some data - I collected the graphs at

http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Days_since_first_edit

and wrote something about it in my blog at

http://wm.sieheauch.de/?p=44

Because there still seem to be people that are not aware of the steep distribution of activity per contributor: It's confirms [[Lotka's Law]] - at least for the majority of contributors - a power law in the form "contributors * edits^1.5 = constant" (see page 56f. in my masters thesis [1]).

Greetings, Jakob
