This report is an analysis of the number and type of contributions sent for review, and the success/fail rate of each contribution type.

Recent reports of this type are listed here.

October 2017
November 2017 - Week 1
November 2017 - Week 2
November 2017 - Week 3
November 2017 - Week 4

I will aim to provide this report on a weekly basis along with a monthly summary in the final week of each month. This will allow contributors and 'employees' of utopian.io to keep in touch with how the platform is progressing with regards to approval percentages and number of Contribution types being submitted.

843 of these contributions have been approved - 62%. This approval percentage is up 4% on the previous week.

The Contributions offered can be any one of the following types:

This weeks data, split into Contribution types is shown in the pie chart below:

2 Contributions by Type

In this section we take a look a few of the individual contribution types of interest, present them using a pie chart.

A full list of contribution types is listed further below with associated figures and analysis.

---

Analysis- Approvals / Rejections

An average of just over 6 Analysis contributions a day for the first week in December, and a 4% climb in the approved percentage over the last set of data collected.

---

Development- Approvals / Rejections

A good week for the Development category with over three quarters of of all contributions being approved. This is a 20% improvement in the approval percentage compared to the previous time frame.

---

Tutorials - Approvals / Rejections

With 277 contributions, 'Tutorials' was again the most popular submission category. For this past week though, only just over half of these contributions have been approved. This is a 7% fall in success rate from the previous time frame, and could imply that the quality required to gain approval is increasing.

---

All contribution types

The following table shows all types and totals of contributions submitted, with their approval % in the end column. Translations, Development, and Analysis look to be the stand-out contribution categories of the past week, with approval percentages better than 3 out of every 4 submissions.

3. Summary Analysis

• 62% of all contributions were approved, up from 58% from the last set of data collected in November.

As the weeks' pass and the data collected expands, it is possible to learn more about the developing trends in the utopian-io ecosystem.

We can already see that the number of contributions is rising impressively.

.	OCTOBER	NOV WK 1	NOV WK 2	NOV WK 3	NOV WK 4 (10 day)	DEC WK 1
Total	740	360	655	1046	1851	1356
Approved	524	238	494	744	1067	843

The total of approved contributions reached 2543 for the month of November.

From this total and and review of the first week, it is possible that we will see over 3000 approved contributions for the month December.

However, as the Utopian-io Open Source project matures steadily, it is possible that the the review of contributions will become more strict, and this could reduce the number of accepted contributions.

The current rules connected to each category are under review, as well the more general aspects of contributions to Utopian, e.g. Language and grammar, and format of submissions.

If we take a look at the 'Bug-hunting' approval % since the beginning of the project, we can see that the approval percentage has declined each week.

Could this be a sign of things to come? - are the submissions being reviewed with more diligence?

Overall, the approval rate is still better than the previous time frame, but their are signs in some categories that this could be about to change.

I feel that this is essential as Utopian-io contributions increase, and the platform gains popularity. The contribution level has to rise, and it is up to the contributors and the moderators to make sure this happens.
