I'm not entirely sure if we need statistics on each individual member's profile, but I brought it up, because it may be a good idea (maybe others could say their thoughts about it too). If I was to see stats though, here are my ideas:

  • number of:
  1. lists
  2. books currently/have/want to read
  3. times a person's profile got viewed
  • edits - # of, type
  • achievements - # of: new books (editions/works) a person added, times a person's edits got viewed, etc.

I personally don't think we need 3., but it's just a list of everything for the next step of prioritizing.

  1. You can see their lists by going to https://openlibrary.org/people/ImportBot/lists
  2. Currently want to read (i.e. reading log) is private by default and so we actively don't show this yet -- since lists are public, it looks like reading log may also go this direction for new users that signup (existing users won't be affected, unless they decide to make their reading log public).
  3. I am not sure # of page views for a user is especially useful or interesting to track.

re: # edits --
The /people pages do show activity, and people's individual accounts show number of edits.

Admin pages do show # edits (https://openlibrary.org/admin/people/mekBot) meaning it wouldn't be hard to add as a first good issue.

openlibrary org_admin_people_mekBot

Marking as Needs: Community Discussion and closing for now; we may open a new issue for adding # edits to people pages if there's consensus, but it seems very low priority.

@mekarpeles the first link had a gateway timeout and the 2nd I don't have permission for.

These are made public if so chosen. I guess it's not important (as it's shown on the next page), but those numbers on the next page (if they're shown on the homepage of the links) I think is what I was saying. So the https://openlibrary.org/people/hawaiisunfun/books/currently-reading shows 0, 59, and 4. I think I was suggesting it to be here too: https://openlibrary.org/people/hawaiisunfun. This would prevent me from wasting time clicking on some part that obviously has nothing in it (like if I view another person's profile that has it public on their's too).

Unless others want to see this too, it's ok if that's not added in. These are thoughts for in case we need it in the future. I just want to make sure we're all on the same page as to what I'm mentioning here, even if it's not implemented.

I would say the most important ones to me are the # of lists (like adding the number of lists the person created (like 'lists: 3', or '3 lists'), unless it's private, as what's nice that's currently there are how many works are in a list already) and # of edits (like how many books that added to the OL and how many total contributions).
