How this is counted

Only ideas that are published and public are counted; private ideas and drafts are not. Language is detected automatically from the text and can be wrong. Competence and category names are shown in English; members write their ideas in Swedish or English. The member count is the one number that is not about ideas.

The same numbers, as the program reads them, are at /api/stats/public, described in the agents page. Answers to common questions about sharing ideas and finding people are in our guides.
