CP Member Metrics!
-
Hi Guys Is there a way I can query CP for metrics on its 10000000+ members? Specifically what I'm thinking of is a way to ask: Give me a count of all members with more than 10 years experience who are active on the site, collated by programming language? And it might return me raw numbers (no personal info) that could be feasibly be rendered into a bar-chart. I realise that we already have the daily/weekly digests of article mods, but this would allow me to comprehend the trends much more easily. Perhaps this could even be a permanent-ish graph on CP showing how what's-being-worked-on is changing over time, with the possibility of pre-filtering what data gets included in the graph. Just an idea.

Right now the only way to know what languages we have experience in is to parse our profile description or look at the tags of our posts. This would be a lot easier if it had profile fields for experience and languages, but it doesn't. Right now I think the best you could get is active members, years they are a member, and most active tags/forums. Doesn't really give you much about experience.
