Recently I was thinking about a new list and was asking myself "What is the average pilot skill that actually sees use?" So I crunched a lot of data, answered that, and worked on some metrics I've been developed for quantitatively evaluating a style of list I advocate for beginners. Discussion on all that is here, along with links to compilations of the data so you can easily do similar analyses yourself:
