Second iteration of productivity measurement

I propose that we explore a weighting strategy based on the type of edit being made. See [1] for an edit type detection strategy that might be worth adopting. I propose the following weighting strategy:

tokens_added = # Tokens added in a revision
c = # Minimum number of revisions to persist before being considered "good"
t = # Minimum number of revisions to persist before being considered "good"
def type_base() = # A function that generates a base score for type of edit
def type_weight() = # A function that generates a weighting for the type of edit

# A base score plus a count of tokens that persist re-weighted by edit type. 
(type_base() + 
 sum(persisting_revisions(token) >= c and persisting_time(token) >= t for token in tokens_added)) * \
type_weight()

Ideas on importance measurement

Copy-paste from man page:

• Number of languages in which an article exists
• Number of pages on which an image or template is placed, and the importance of those pages excluding templates and images
• Number of unique, unblocked, registered accounts that have edited the page and its talk page
• Number of page watchers if 30 or more
