This is a weekly, semi-automated post where I will show some statistics and graphs of the development category. It will also serve as a showcase for the staff picks and task requests that were made in the current week. If you have any suggestions or things you'd like to see in this post, then please let me know!

Score distribution in the development category

Average score, reward (STU) and time before review (hours) per week

Time before review is the number of hours between the creation of the post and the time it is reviewed by a moderator.
The average score of contributions has gone up from 58.1 to 63.3 this week, which is a good indication that the quality of contributions has also gone up! Despite the average score going up, the average reward has unfortunately gone down from 55.5 STU to 39.6 STU. Finally, the number of hours it takes for us to get to a contribution and review it (on average) has gone down a lot from 20.0 to 14.0.
Number of contributions reviewed per week

As you can see the weekly number of reviews has stayed the same this week (32)! The number of reviews these last two weeks have been a bit less than usual, and so this means that the number of contributions over the last two weeks (64) are also down compared to the number of reviews in the two weeks prior to that (93).
Contributors
Number of unique contributors per week

With the number of reviews going up this week, it's pretty surprising to see the number of unique contributors down slightly from 31 to 25.
