Here is some help on how to write your own wiki analysis. The statistics already implemented compute:
Here is a description of the statistics computed by WikiTrust, an on how to use them to build social graphs. We have a WikiTrust discussion group where you can discuss the tool and its code, and that you can use to give us feedback and suggestions. |
