Arjuna, <div><br></div><div>Your approach to have an idea of a community&#39;s activity by combining some metrics is interesting. Also, to compare monthly averages instead of end of year performance is also good.</div><div>
<br></div><div><b>Increase in database size, number of most active contributors (making more than 100 edits a month) and page views can be real indicators of growth and activity</b>. Is there any way to find database size? We don&#39;t have that and many other useful stats after May 2010. Check <a href="http://stats.wikimedia.org/EN/TablesWikipediaTA.htm">http://stats.wikimedia.org/EN/TablesWikipediaTA.htm</a> for example. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Also, any inference based on page views should normalize it based on the population of native speaking people to have a better perspective of the community&#39;s performance compared to its potential / size. </div>
