1. RMF site usage: Introduction

Relative usage of major site locations in terms of number of visitors per month: The number of visitors to each of those site locations.

Number of visitors in each of four months: Summarising the number of site visitors in July, August, September, and October.

Cumulative number of visitors across four months: Demonstrating by accumulation that additional participants visit each month

Cumulative percentage across four months: The number of additional visitors per month in percentage terms (percent of total number of participants).

Cumulative percentage across the years: Demonstrating by reduction to absurdity the length of time it would take for all 3000 to visit the RMF site.

Comment on pattern on usage (Nielsen): Jacob Nielsen, the web guru of usabilty, makes sense of it all.
