I will aim to provide this report on a weekly basis, with a look at the previous weeks data and more historical data to compare and contrast.

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.

---

Assumptions

In this report, 'Approved' contributions have been voted on by @utopian-io.

'Rejected' contributions have not received a vote from @utopian-io.

1. Contributions Summary

For the week, 2nd - 8th March 2018 inclusive, the SteemSQL DataBase holds a total of 2878 potential contributions to utopian-io. This is 392 less contributions than the previous weeks' total which was 3270.

1932 of these contributions have been approved, ** 271 less** than the previous weeks' total of 2203.

The approval percentage of 67% is the same as last 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:

'Translations', as has been the case for the 3 weeks, is the category containing the most contributions (1194). The 'market share' though is down from 50% last week to 42% this time.

And as last week, 'Ideas/Suggestions' (635 and 652 last week) are in 2nd, and 'Graphics' (235 and 292 last week) in 3rd place.

2 Contributions by Type

In this section we take a look a few of the individual contribution types of interest.

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

---

Suggestions(Ideas)- Approvals / Rejections

For the past two months, we have seen upwards of 400 contributions each week to this category. However, the approval % has not managed to surpass 53%, and averages at 43% over the time period analysed.

Considering the popularity of the category, this numbers are lower than expected, and can be seen in the chart below.

The 'Ideas' category is one of the most approachable from a non-technical viewpoint. And perhaps this is why it continues to be one of the most popular contribution categories, despite it's approval % being lower than others.

---

Social - Approvals / Rejections

Last week we looked at the 'Social' category due to its recent growth.

The 'Social' contribution category has received 100 contributions this week, and 84 of those have been approved. This is a good approval rate and the category continues to progress.

This week the category has seen a huge rise in contributions, dwarfing the numbers of recent weeks.

Almost 3 times as many contributions in the category this week than the previous week, and more approved contributions than the previous 3 weeks combined.

The analyst is surprised at this level of growth and wonders what the underlying factors are. @utopian-io may well take a closer look at the recent approvals / rules for this category as this level of growth seems unsustainable going forward.

3. All contribution types

The following table shows all types and totals of contributions submitted, with their approval % in the end column.

'Development' and 'Transactions' performed excellently again this week with over 4 out of every 5 submissions being approved.

The percentage of accepted 'Blog' contributions has improved this week, and is the best in the past 6 weeks at 14.8%. This is still much lower than other more popular categories but it could be a sign of improved submissions here.

---

4. Summary Analysis

Each week provides an expanding dataset, and from this it is possible to learn more about the developing trends in the utopian-io ecosystem.

The recent rising growth in contributions has been stunted this week slightly, and a possible reason for this is explained in the summary.

However, the approval rate remains solid and at 67% - 2/3 contributions approved.

---

Summary

This weeks figures have seen a fall in the number of submissions, but this is most likely due to the pausing of 'Translations' contributions on the final day of this weeks' data range. Next week we will see what effect that has had on other categories.

The analyst expects to see a move into other focus areas from the 'Translation' contributors as they attempt to continue to contribute, and profit from doing so.

On the whole, another steady week for @utopian-io with a good approval percentage in keeping with recent progress.

5. Tools used to gather this data and compile report

The data is sourced from SteemSQL - A publicly available SQL database with all the blockchain data held within.

The SQL queries to extra to the data have been produced in both SQL Server Personal Edition and LINQPAD 5. Some of the code used for these results can be found in an earlier contribution.

The charts used to present the data were produced using MS Excel.
