*Increase in registered users over the month was 108 - 93 = 15, or 15/93 = 16.1%.
Views are increased faster than edits, probably due to the large increase in content in the previous month.
Views per edit increased, showing improved "leverage".
Edits increased faster than users, so the newer users are probably more active than the previous average users (or else existing users have gotten more active).

==Appropedia statistics, taken 22 Nov 06==

''Commentary: In 30 days, page views are up 38%, and "legitimate pages" are up 40%. Cause and effect are not clear; much effort has gone into promotion in the form of links.  Still, content growth, which has been helped by several porting efforts, is likely to be generating additional search hits.  At the same time additional links are helping to raise Appropedia's search ranking.  Whatever the details are, something is going right.  Let's keep up the good work!  --[[User:Curtbeckmann|CurtB]] 11:52, 22 November 2006 (UTC)''

There are 3,112 total pages in the database. This includes "talk" pages, pages about Appropedia, minimal "stub" pages, redirects, and others that probably don't qualify as content pages. Excluding those, there are '''180 pages that are probably legitimate''' content pages.

User statistics

There are '''93 registered users''', of which 4 (or 4.30%) are administrators (see Appropedia:Administrators).

===Summary of "analysis" for the month===
By the way, the "views per edit" value is a long term average.  The monthly value of views-per-edit from 10/22 to 11/22 can be calculated by (Nov views - Oct views)/(Nov edits - Oct edits).
*Content increased from 128 to 180, an increase of 52, or 40.6%.
*Page views from 10/22 to 11/22 were 28,035.  Using 31 days, there were 904 views-per-day.
*Page edits for the period were 1,585.  That means 51 edits-per-day.
*Views-per-edit for the period were 17.5. 
*Increase in registered users over the month was 93 - 82 = 11, or 11/82 = 13.4%
The content increase was dramatic in the month, probably due to a significant amount of copy/paste porting.

==Appropedia statistics, taken 22 Oct 06.==
''Seems like it might be nice to sample this occasionally...  And where to put it?  Check "probably legitimate" page count, and "views per edit", which probably tells you something about lifecycle.  It's also interesting to note the ratio (you have to calculate it) between total pages and "legit" pages.  PESwiki has 35% or so legit pages, versus 5% for Appropedia.  (I think there are a ton of overhead pages that are fairly fixed, so larger sites will have better ratios.)  Anyway, here is the data ''

http://www.solaroof.org/wiki is a wiki based on something other than MediaWiki, and so it's stats are different.  Though it is an "org", it seems more commercially oriented.  You can check "activity" and "site stats" (which seems to be a count of matches by various search engines).

I also took a peek at the Demotech wiki, but that's also very different, so didn't pursue.

For further reference, we have, of course, Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Statistics
Notice that wikipedia doesn't even include page views, so can't check page views per edit.  (They have tons of other stats, but too complex to investigate at the mo'.)
