Utopian Messaging/Chat Application by @tensor

This contribution is about the new Utopian messaging module and will be part of the new Utopian platform. The application adds a messaging service so that users may communicate with one another directly and indirectly. The module will also let the platform serve notifications to users about the status of their projects and contributions. There are many more cool features included, and to find out what you will need to go check out the contribution!

Score distribution in the development category

Average score, reward (STU) and time before review (hours) per week

^{Time before review is the amount of hours between the creation of the post and the time it is reviewed by a moderator.}

Unfortunately the average score of contributions is down from 64.4 to 58.1 this week. Despite the average score having gone down this week, the average reward is up from 78.1 STU to 98.3. Lastly, the amount of hours it takes for us to get to a contribution and review it (on average) has gone up a lot from 13.6 to 20.0.

Amount of contributions reviewed per week

As you can see the weekly amount of reviews is down from 48 to 34. However, the amount of contributions over the last two weeks (82) is up from the amount in the two weeks prior to that (61).

Contributors

Amount of unique contributors per week

With the amount of reviews going down this week it's unfortunately not that surprising to see the amount of unique contributors go down slightly from 36 to 31 either.
