::::::::::The big thing that I've seen that differentiates RC from most of the others is its continued expansion and vibrant community. Compare [http://en.literateprograms.org/Special:Recentchanges|Literate Program's recent changes feed]] with [[Special:RecentChanges|Rosetta Code's]]. Also, here's a past-year perspective on site traffic; We do better than double our traffic each year--by no means amazing progress for a website in general, but it's certainly stable geometric growth. (If you're curious, take a look at a Google Analytics' extraction of the [http://rosettacode.org/resources/Analytics_wiki_20091227-20101225_(DashboardReport).pdf last years' traffic]). --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 01:58, 27 December 2010 (UTC) |

:::::::::::I find it a bit strange they don't mention search engine referrers at all, especially since that report is from Google. Even the most basic log analysis software like Webalizer lists search terms. But visitor growth looks very impressive indeed! --[[User:Morn|Morn]] 13:50, 28 December 2010 (UTC) |

::::::::::::They provide that data, but I don't include it in my dashboard. Referrals are much more interesting and useful data points, even if they're nowhere near as much of the traffic. Referrals tell me which communities find what interesting. Search results just keep telling me that a bunch of people want to know how to tell if a string is numeric. --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 13:58, 28 December 2010 (UTC) |

::::::::::We don't go in for surveys and polls all that much, to be honest. This isn't so much a democracy as rule by anyone willing to put in the work (with Mike being the benevolent dictator when it comes to matters technical with site operation). But that's not to say that we're opposed to having examples improved. All it takes is a one-man crusade that shows the other people who do task and solution curation what things ''could'' be with only a little extra work. “A little less conversation, a little more action please” as the song goes. Lead by example. (And I agree with Mike: the thing that differentiates RC is the community; this place has critical mass at least for now, and I'm not going away…) –[[User:Dkf|Donal Fellows]] 14:54, 27 December 2010 (UTC) |
