Site Stats
List of Contributors
|
|
The order is currently based on an automated estimation of
what each person has contributed to the site. The
purpose of creating this order is to recognize the
individual contributions of the members of the
MushroomObserver.org community.
The current formula is a weighted sum of each
contribution. The current weighting is:
| Images | 10 |
| New Names | 10 |
| Name Changes | 10 |
| New Locations | 5 |
| Location Changes | 5 |
| Species Lists | 5 |
| Species List Entries | 1 |
| Comments | 1 |
| Observations | 1 |
| Proposed IDs | 1 |
| Votes | 1 |
Thus an observation of a species not previously in the site with
3 images would count as:
| 3 * 10 | (images) |
| + | 1 * 10 | (new name) |
| + | 1 * 1 | (observation) |
| + | 1 * 1 | (proposed ID) |
| + | 1 * 1 | (vote on ID) |
|
| 43 points |
These weights or the overall method of ranking is likely
to change over time based on feedback from the members of
the community.
