A few weeks back, I was playing around with some numbers. It is true that
number of effective speakers isn't a very good predictor, but it is a place
to start.
Most of our mature editor communities have about 20 active editors per 1
million effective speakers, give or take a factor of 4. In othe

Useful link, thank you! I know that article count is very far from perfect
as a metric, of course. All of the things at that page are relevant and my

metrics to uncertain metrics is quite sure to produce garbage. Sin

in a way that will benefit as many people and languages as (reasonably)

mean the article count and the active editor count.
This begs the question: Is it proportional to anything else?
I can think of a bunch of possib
