A similar thing was discovered in the N-papers-cited-N-times-each metric which was popular at one point in academia as an alternative to citation count. It turned out to maximize the area of an axis-bounded square when contributions were plotted, which is why for naturally occurring data it correlated pretty well with the square root of total citation count. While this isn't an entirely analogous situation, most contributors who are active have been active since they started contributing, so this doesn't do a whole lot except to pick out people who used to be active and then stopped and then started up again. - Leo Izen (Traneptora) _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-devel-request@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
