Some statistics

I was asked to provide some statistics, but didn't had the time. Sorry for that. Here are some of the graphs.

• 
  New users
• 
  Users with more than 5 edits
• 
  Users with more than 100 edits
• 
  New articles
• 
  Edits per day
• 
  Scatter for 5 edits vs new
• 
  Scatter for 100 edits vs new

Notable changes are users with more than 100 edits because the number grow, and new users that continue falling. A first impression would be that things are getting better because the number of users with many contributions are growing, but this coincide with a growing unemployment in Norway, so it is perhaps not a stable growth over time. It is also tempting to think that this is users returning from another similar external lexicon project where they restructure and define more rigid rules for their editors, and what is seen are those users migrating back. It is clear from the scatter plot that the changes does not correlate with a similar increase in new users, it is probably reoccuring users and not new users, still the numbers are yet only around 10 users so it is difficult to say whats going on.

The increasing drop in new users will become a problem if it does not stop. The project is now down to a mean of slightly over 50 new users each month, and with a loss of about 10 per month compared to previous year. The numbers for the summer is worse, and if they continue then in two years time or perhaps a little more there will be months without new users. Most likely this will happen midsummer 2018 or 2019.

I don't think WMNO can do much to stop the drop of new editors, other than what they do at present, without better understanding of why there is this huge continued drop in numbers. We don't even have a clear understanding of what happens after the first edits, and why they edit in the first place. — Jeblad 13:42, 5 October 2016 (UTC)

Thanks, for providing this Jeblad! Very useful as always. --Astrid Carlsen (WMNO) (talk) 08:37, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

Request for extension - Financial statement

Is it ok if we post our financial statement by the 14th November 2016? Cheers! --Astrid Carlsen (WMNO) (talk) 14:36, 31 October 2016 (UTC)

Astrid Carlsen (WMNO), you have been granted na extension for this report. Cheers, Delphine (WMF) (talk) 14:40, 31 October 2016 (UTC)

So following my last email, let's hold that extension for a while and see until when exactly it is granted (tentatively until March 2017?) Delphine (WMF) (talk) 14:49, 31 October 2016 (UTC)

OK, so since your fiscal year runs from January to December, your financial documents are not due until the end of April 2017. Best- Delphine (WMF) (talk) 16:38, 31 October 2016 (UTC)
