congrats on the recognize, but
mindtouch...omg. it's mediawiki, forked and rewritten in c#...the
people might be smart and nice, but reality is Enterprise ready in
their case means you need someone w skills to install it and it looks

Benford’s law, also called the first-digit law, states that in lists of
numbers from many (but not all) real-life sources of data, the leading digit
is distributed in a specific, non-uniform way. According to this law, the
first digit is 1 almost one third of the time, and larger digits occur as
the leading digit with lower and lower frequency, to the point where 9 as a
first digit occurs less than one time in twenty. (via @cyberu)
