The end of the old year and the beginning of a new one is a time for reflection and review in order to help guide future actions by considering past results.
In that light (and because I'm of that bent), I've prepared a statistical summary from the records I've kept this past year on diaries posted at Daily Kos.
I should emphasize that although the data used was compiled with a best effort to comprehensively mirror all user diaries published at http://www.dailykos.com, some differences doubtless remain.
That caveat out of the way, let's turn to the numbers, based on diaries from Jan 1 to Dec 31, 2005.
Update [2006-1-3 22:19:13 by jotter]: Thanks to HK for pointing out a duplicate in the list of diaries, and to smintheus for pointing out an overlooked diary. The diary list was reformatted to conform to the appearance of my daily summaries. Thanks everyone for an entertaining and inspiring thread.
How many people were participants at Daily Kos in 2005?

no data * |
* previous estimates place the undercount of users due to excluding commentators at ~ 20%,
and almost no one who either recommends or writes diaries fails to comment, so a reasonable
estimate for exclusive commentators is 0.2 * 16893 ~ 3400, pushing estimated participation to 20k.
What did people do during 2005 at Daily Kos that left a countable result?

The averages above don't give a sense of the skewed distributions
actually observed: everyone knows that relatively few diaries and
diarists get a disproportionate number of recommendations and comments.
Fewer realize that a few recommending readers bestow the bulk of the
recommendations.
The table of centiles below helps show the distributions that underly
these impressions. For example 50% of total impact derives from only
271 diarists (1.9%) and 50% of all diary impact derives from only 4307
diaries (4.7%), while 50% of recommendations were distributed by only 676
recommending readers (4.8%).

Although not wishing to promote a contest like atmosphere, and
recalling the many thousands who contributed to the "2nd" 50% of total
impact, which required viewing and reading just as the first 50% did, it
is in the nature of a statistical summary to highlight the upper
extremes, and so I will. Below are tables of highest impact
recommending readers, diarists and diaries.
In each case I've chosen the same number to list, 117. The 100 is the
more usual number for a "best of" list, and the extra 17 are for social
democrat, in case (s)he's still out there reading. These lists thus
highlight diarists responsible for ~40% of total impact, recommending
readers responsible for around ~20% of impact, and diaries accounting for
~5% of total impact.

Interestingly, of the 117 diaries shown, corresponding to 5% of total diary impact, 90 different authors are represented.
Of these 90, only 35 are on the list of 117 top impact authors.
My continued congratulations to kos for originating this site, and to all Kossacks, Kosmopolitans,
Kosmopotamians, and Kossites of all stripes for their ongoing participation. The output of the equivalent
of 1.5 Cheers and Jeers per hour, sustained over an entire year, is nothing short of amazing.
