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
December 2017 - Week 1

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.

Assumptions

Currently, there is no indicator for 'approved' or 'rejected' contributions to utopian.io on the Steem Blockchain.

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 second week of December 2017 - 8th - 14th inclusive, the SteemSQL DataBase holds a total of 1715 potential contributions to utopian-io.

1078 of these contributions have been approved, this is 235 more than the first week of December.

The approval percentage is 63%, and this is up just 1% 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 4 Analysis contributions a day for the first week in December totaling 31. This is 6 less than the previous week but their has been a climb in the approval percentage from 76% to 87%.

It is interesting to note this fall in 'Analysis' contributions, while the total contribution count rose by 235. Is the quality improving in this category?

---

Development- Approvals / Rejections

Another excellent good week for the Development category with over three quarters of of all contributions being approved. Last week the approval percentage was 77% which was a good week in itself, and it has been improved on this week, to 79%.

Even more impressive is that this rise in approval % has come at the same time as an increase in contributions to the 'Development' category, as we saw 24 more submissions than the previous week.

---

Tutorials - Approvals / Rejections

This week, 355 contributions were made to Tutorials alone (520 if you include Video Tutorials). This is 78 more contributions than the first week of December, a rise of 28%.

However, the increase in contributions has brought a fall in the approval percentage to 47%, from 53% last week.

---

All contribution types

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

Not a great week for contributors submitting 'Documentation'. Only 5 approvals from 19 contributions, just 26%.

---

3. Summary Analysis

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.

.	OCT	NOV WK 1	NOV WK 2	NOV WK 3	NOV WK 4 (10 day)	DEC WK 1	DEC WK 2
Total	740	360	655	1046	1851	1356	1715
Approved	524	238	494	744	1067	843	1078

A record week for approved contributions!

The total of approved contributions reached 2543 for the month of November. And last week, I suggested that we may reach 3000 approved contributions for the month December.

Looking at the data for the first two weeks of December, I suggest that we are going to be very close to 4000 approved submissions for the whole month. This total would be almost 8 times the total of October which was the first full month of the utopian-io project.

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.

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. However, this category is alone with this interesting statistic.

---

In Summary:

The percentage of approved contributions has again increased, along with the number of contributions.

Congratulations to all involved for another successful week.
