I’m just getting started with discourse. Does it have any built in analytics that are useful for gauging how successful it is whilst we’re building up the community.

Also how do we identify the best contributers?

Yep, we added a lot more analytics tools in the last major release:

> [@Help us build the new 2.0 Dashboard](https://meta.discourse.org/t/help-us-build-the-new-dashboard/86468):
>
> We have redesigned our admin dashboard at /admin In the next days I will be finishing this and moving towards a v1 which will be in the next Discourse release. Please refrain yourself to write a long bug report for a few more days, I will post it when I think “it’s done”, but do try it and please give us an early feedback on what you can try and this mockup. I’m very excited to finish this and give you this new dashboard. One of my personal goals with this revamped dashboa…

Contributor stats will be added eventually.

Go to the /users page to see key user metrics.

Thanks. We’ve only got a few admin users so far. Can the /Users page help to identity key contributers when the community gets bigger?

That’s helpful thanks. Makes it easy to indentify power users.
