Am I correct in assuming that "views" includes non-"members", as well as "members" who don't have enough rep. to vote? If so, is there a way to see what percentage of views by voting members turns into a vote?

@Jas3.1 I'm not sure about that. I'm not that overwhelmingly familiar with the API yet.

@JonEricson yes, that is true. i'll see how that compares with other site. i'm also including a non-analogous site (DBA) to see how that's going to compare

@swasheck Philosophy had a good head start on us. They just passed their first birthday.

They are also pretty close us in terms of being academically oriented and having a somewhat narrow focus.

(Which is a bit of a paradox, actually.)

i am not really very good at all of the presentation stuff so i'm just dumping data

you can tweak it however you want and then take credit for it :)

or if you can think of a better way to share it let me know

@swasheck Looks like these are different results than what you posted before.

Also, it looks like we do pretty well at converting views to votes.

And we don't have very many downvotes compared to other sites, it seems.

@JonEricson Blocked again. Yes it is different and that's because I pulled in new data that changed the results a bit.

Jon Ericson

@swasheck Bummer.

Thanks for the clarification.
