Breakdown of Observers in KZN

This graph gives a breakdown of how many KZN-based atlas observers live where, also classing them by the number of cards that they have submitted [nationally]. This was as at 29/03/2010.
For instance, there were 23 observers who had submitted one card, 6 in from the Midlands, 5 from Northern KZN, 5 from Port Natal, 1 from Sisonke [Southern KZN], 4 from Trogons [South Coast] and 2 from Zululand.
Alternatively we can see that in the Midlands we have 6 who submitted 1 card, 4 have submitted 2-4 cards, six 5-9 cards, three 10-19, five 20-49, three 50-99, two 100-149, another two 150-199 and last but not least, one observer who has submitted between 400-499 cards.
If one assumes that observers who have submitted 5 or more cards can be said to be regular atlassers, then of the 240 people who reside in KZN that have registered, 84 [or 35%] of them have gone on to atlas regularly. It is also interesting to note that only 127 people [of the 240 who have registered], have actually gone on to submit a card, i.e. only 53%. In other words 53% of the people who have registered have actually gone on to try their hand at atlassing, while only 35% have gone on to submit more than 5 cards.

Last Set of Submissions for KZN

The list on the left are the card submissions for KZN pentads for the period 17/02/10 to 15/03/10.
During these 26 days we had 201 cards submitted, 26 of which were for new pentads. We averaged 7.7 cards / day, with 3.5 cards / observer, and 1.0 cards per new pentad per day.
The three observers who submitted the most cards, were Iain Guthrie with 24, Tim Wood with 16 and Mr J Claassen with 15.
Alan Manson and Trish Strachan submitted cards for 7 new pentads each, while Iain Guthrie, Barry Porter and Brian Byers submitted 2 cards each for new pentads.

These are the submissions for the fortnight from 15 - 29/03/10.
35 observers submitted 138 cards, 16 of which were for new pentads. This works out to an average of 9.9 cards / day, 1.1 new pentads / day and 3.9 cards / observer.
Trish Strachan and Ms L van Deventer submitted 15 cards each, Tim Wood 13 cards and Iain Guthrie 12 cards.
Trish submitted cards for 12 new pentads, Malcolm Rivett 2, and Ernst Retief and Alan Manson 1 each.

Thanks to all who contributed, and keep up the good work.
