This is a weekly, semi-automated post where I will show some statistics and graphs of the development category. It will also serve as a showcase for the staff picks and task requests that were made in the current week. If you have any suggestions or things you'd like to see in this post, then please let me know!

Get extra SPP for free - SteemPlus weekly leaderboard by @steem-plus

SteemPlus have added a leaderboard to their landing page! In there, you can find the weekly, monthly and forever rankings including all the SPP earned (except from delegations and reblogs) and the delegation ranking. It starts Monday midnight (UTC) and ends at the end of the week. 10% of the total SPP earned during the week by all SPP users will be distributed as a bonus to the 10 top users in a non-linear manner.

Category summary

• There were 27 contributions of which 24 were, or will be, rewarded.

Score distribution in the development category

Number of contributions per weekday

On Monday and Tuesday there was relatively more activity compared to the rest of the week. I think it's pretty cool that it's spread out over multiple days, but hopefully one day it will be even across the entire week! Saturday and Wednesday had the least activity in the entire week. It's not surprising to me that there's less activity in a part of the weekend, as most people will probably want to relax instead.

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

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

The average score of contributions has gone up from 64.7 to 72.5 this week, which is a good indication that the quality of contributions has also gone up! The average reward, just like the average score, has also gone up (from 33.5 STU to 38.5 STU), which is of course great for our contributors. Lastly, the number of hours it takes for us to get to a contribution and review it (on average) has gone up a bit from 13.5 hours to 16.0 hours.

Number of contributions reviewed per week

As you can see, the weekly number of reviews is down from 30 to 27. Unfortunately this seems to be following a trend, as the number of contributions over the last two weeks is also down from 71, in the two weeks prior, to 57.

Contributors

Number of unique contributors per week

With the number of reviews going down this week it's unfortunately not that surprising to see the number of unique contributors go down slightly from 27 to 22 either.

Number of reviews per weekday

As you can see, Tuesday was the day where we reviewed the most contributions in the development category. I wonder why... Thursday was the day where we reviewed the least. I'm sorry if you submitted your contribution on that day and had to wait a while for your review, but at least now you know when we are the most active, haha.
