Stats update includes a new feature: monthly leaderboard

[VijayPande]

In our regular updating of FAH systems, we’ve done a recent update of the stats website internals to help speed them up and bring them to new infrastructure that should be more reliable. Along the way, lead FAH Programmer Joseph Coffland added a suggestion from FAH Marketing Relations lead Anton Thynell to include a new sort of competition: a monthly leaderboard.

This monthly leaderboard will naturally give the top donor and top team for each month and we will collect the top leaders for each month for recognition over the year. Our intent was to give new donors a way to more directly see their contribution immediately and to in general encourage more friendly competition that helps us push forward our science even faster.
