Re: Best of the Best Users in Perlmonks site

[xdg]

Another way to look at this is to rank-order monks by XP/writeup and by writeups/month (the latter I used just for a more tractable number in my intermediate calculations). That examines "contribution" in a couple of different ways. Then we can look at who is ranked well in each category. There are I chose two ways of looking at that combination -- minimum combined vector distance (who's closer to rank 1 in both) or a linear average of the two ranks. Using Saints in our Book, here's a look at the top 30 each way:
