Abstract (at least 300 words to describe your proposal)

How often do editors edit? Do they stick to a few articles or do they edit all over the place? These are some of the questions that interest us & we want to try to answer. We will be exploring.

How do most editors fare (editing few articles vs a large random set of articles)
Do editors take a sabbatical and come back? Do they leave for good?
Do editors run out of topics to edit?
Should we be building tools to help editors find the content they can contribute to?
Are we running out of topics for a casual editor?

We wish to show what we can learn from answering the questions listed above.
