That makes sense to me. Another similar metric is how often a question gets asked at our forum, although this is a bit hard to count. > I wonder if the licensing is such that the frameworks like Qt can benefit > from the content by "upstreaming" it into their own documentation. According to your link, Stack Overflow Documentation contributions are licensed the same way as regular Stack Overflow, i.e. CC BY-SA 3.0. We'll need a legal expert's input to be sure, but from what I understand we can't relicense CC BY-SA 3.0 material under GFDL 1.3... (Perhaps we can ask Stack Overflow for an exception?) > I'm interested to hear what others think about this.
