With Stack Overflow most people measure number of new questions - but that's a partial measure that can lead to wrong conclusions.

How to measure number of pageviews instead? I have a solution!

It would be interesting to see this combined with the github commits dataset on bigquery and compared to the redmonk ranking. The redmonk ranking is slightly different from the state of the octoverse ranking.
