LibriVox monthly statistics

[zachh]

I have a dumb question. On the last line of the monthly stats it says "who have completed something", and I've always vaguely wondered what that means. Is that how many have completed a recording and uploaded it, or who have read something in a publication that has now been catalogued, or is it something else I haven't even thought of? I'm glad there were so many things catalogued this month, and I hope to start contributing to the total again before the end of the year.

[TriciaG]

Ha ha! I honestly don't know! I searched through the forum - even the back area where the technical conversations are - and didn't find a definition.

It's either "who have at least one section in a completed project" or "who have at least one section uploaded and entered into a MW". I'm not sure which it is. If I had to choose one, I'd guess it was the former.

[InTheDesert]

I just looked at the code and it is the latter. Any section marked PL OK in a MW.

[TriciaG]

Thanks!

[zachh]

Thank you both for taking the time to look into my completely pointless question. Now I'll know instead of wondering when I see the statistics each month.

It looks like this will be a good year in total projects. Not a record breaker, I suppose, but a darn good year.

[TriciaG]

It looks like this will be a good year in total projects. Not a record breaker, I suppose, but a darn good year.

Right now it's our 3rd best year ever (1st: 2021, 2nd 2020, 3rd 2022). We would need 32 more projects to tie 2020 - probably ain't gonna happen.

So yes, not a record breaker, but a darn good year!

Number of languages with a completed work 47

Hi! I wonder what is the new language we now have a completed work in?

[TriciaG]

Number of languages with a completed work 47

Hi! I wonder what is the new language we now have a completed work in?

Indonesian. We had sections in other projects, but never a full project of its own until now.

[Piotrek81]

Number of languages with a completed work 47

Hi! I wonder what is the new language we now have a completed work in?

Indonesian. We had sections in other projects, but never a full project of its own until now.

What's more, the Indonesian project in question spent years in the Abandoned Projects. It had been started in 2008 or 2009:shock:
