It would be helpful to have an #official Engagement Rate.

It could be applied in two ways:

1. for users
  - Trust Levels do this of course but aren’t very granular
  - Perhaps a score based on TL?? e.g. user is new, just read 3 posts = 0.3. Highly engaged and well on the way to Membership = 2.7

2. for posts / topics / categories
  - such as what LinkedIn etc do
