Statistc for wikiloops members

Listening to BIG Intervew Shamika-Richard i start thinking .Do we have some statistics of Wikiloops permanent members. Of course this is not very important but is not bad to know some basic data.If founder and community accepted of course.This can be done with some statistics check list.Basic data can include:
1.Numbers proffesional musicians (with music education).
2.Number musicians actively playing with bands or individually at audience
3.Age groups (%)
4.Various category-Guitarists,Drummers,Vocal,multy,etc
5. Based on nationality statistics.
6.Other interesting points.
Of course all above is touching to confidentiality and not giving unnesesarily personal data.
Again i am saying all this is up to Richard and community.

Hey,
Looking forward to others thoughts & a statistics wishlist, I could surely add some questions, like "who is taking / giving music lessons" as one example.
This might indeed reveal some interesting picture of "the average loops-user".

Most of Krasimirs data points can not be answered by me or wikiloops data - I do not know who is playing in bands or who is a professional, so, one would need to have some sort of poll / survey to collect such data.
That could be done quite easily, but it could at best collect answers from those who are currently active, so that's just a small portion of all the ever-active-people during over 12 years.

Keep questions coming, I'll be happy to answer whatever I can without breaching confidentiality.
I will not tell you the username who downloaded the most tracks without giving a single thumbs up, for instance, or the most downloaded bass players username, but I'll happily share whatever else seems of interest :)

Cheers Richard, I have a general issue with data collection and my sense tells me that too much data and interpretation / analysis thereof tends toward... positions. And these create standpoints which can concretize into... polarized views. Not entirely sure whether Wikiloops should develop toward this kind of platform. For me, the music comes first. Sorry if I am getting the wrong end of the stick here, just looking to find and keep all on the same page.

data visualization dashboards can be cool for visualizing data, like a pie chart of all the tracks, sliced out by genre (percentage and total tracks). stuff like that is cool to look at. there's probably other creative ways to filter down the track data/info which make it easy to understand visually. genres by country, overall country stats, etc. you get the picture :)

Thanks for time spend with my proposal. Music is first should remain as main point but some basic statistic of our community without getting too much into private details will be great.Just simple statistic check list will do and it should be on everyknes decision to fill up or not.

I deal with numbers every day, @#*%€@#! What I am saying, I think once a year we get some statistics about the number of tracks, active Loopers and a few others, that's enough for me. Instead of prowling the database for numbers I have a different proposal for Dick: I would like a lava lamp and a disco ball in the wikiloops lounge to get that groovy 70ies feeling :D
