Some years ago I did a quite simplified analysis of the number of active contributors, and normalized the number against the number of people wit internet connections for the respective language groups. The relative number was pretty similar for all languages from similar cultural groups. I suspect that for a given group, or project, there is a limit on the relative number of contributors and we can't get above it without changing the project somehow. Another indication that there is a "crowdsource constant" is the trend themselves on contributors at the individual projects, they have been stable (or near stable) for a very long time. (Yes they drop somewhat, I know that!)

A good question to ask would be why the admin group is not growing. And maybe (maybe) we can find a common answer to both problems pointed here. _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines and https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia-l New messages to: Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, mailto:wikimedia-l-request@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe
