Total Number of Robotics Stack Exchange Questions and Answers is incorrectly charted

[tfoote]

The current rendering shows the number of questions to be 2600 and 1900 range. However there's 46,468 questions reported at https://robotics.stackexchange.com/questions

It looks like the report is possibly the monthly new questions and answers not the total?

[tfoote]

The unanswered metric is also potentially missleading here. Stack Exchange evaluates answered as either accepted or answers with an upvote and by that metric there's only "3,512 questions with no upvoted or accepted answers" https://robotics.stackexchange.com/questions?tab=Unanswered which is no where near a 25% answering rate.

If there's a filter for within the month it would also be something like questions asked in the last month with accepted answers, versus the total rate of answers.

These stats are underdocumented, I apologize.

• Only the questions tagged with ros or ros2 are crawled.
• There is filtering in place to separate out the questions/answers ported from answers.ros.org
• The metric for "Unanswered" has always been accepted answers.. There may be value in other metrics as well.

That said, its entirely possible that there are anomalies in the data. However, I think the number of questions seems accurate based on this:

The grey line shows the time during which answers.ros.org was active. We see sharp inflection points for the number of SE questions, answers and percent answered when answers.ros.org was sunset.
