Point System for Contributors about sefaria-project HOT 2 CLOSED

There's now a section for top contributors on the activity page which uses the most naive point system imaginable -- it simply counts the number of items in the history collection with each users name on them.

This works, but already has some suboptimal behavior. E.g., if you add a line break on a page of Talmud, this counts as an edit / add for each subsequent line. Changing the first line only might net you 50 points if the page has 50 lines. I don't know the best way to identify this case given the way data is currently stored.

Points are now calculated in a recurring job, and have different weights for different kinds of activities. I tried to give more points to tasks that take more time and especially weight points towards creating original translations. Still not perfect, the problem above about line breaks still applies, but something to work with. See sefaria/data/scripts/leaderboards.py.
