Leaderboard

Editor: Scott5114

The leaderboard has yet another new face this month as some of the more neglected projects have gotten some new life; Michigan has had new life breathed into it by Imzadi1979 and Stratosphere, and Utah has seen some serious work by Davemeistermoab. This is partly due to a sort-of race going on in the IRC channel to see who would be the first to break the 4.000 Ω barrier. And the winner was Michigan, which shot up from position 21 last month to number one this month with a record-breaking Ω of 3.970!

Michigan's main competitor in the race to 4 was Connecticut, and as a result that project moved up from 5th place to second. New York has managed to hold onto the #3 spot. Newcomers to the board this month are the aforementioned Michigan and Utah. The established New Jersey project, which was #10 in December's recap and dropped off the following month, has returned, rising back up to the eighth position.

If you're unfamiliar with the WikiWork statistics, you can find more information about them at WP:USRD/A/WW. So ladies and gentlemen, here it comes! Your USRD Leaderboard for February 16, 2008!
