Infact the idea of featuring people in lots was to find some pattern, but we
could find any spikes. The hit ratio of Create First article page linked on

There is Akshay's GSoC work which kind of tracks sign-ups through referral
campaigns, but we need something more inside Wikipedia which tracks these
campaigns.
