Perhaps unsurprisingly, arduino hacks are near the top of the list.

If you look at the most prolific authors you get:

Mike Szczys 5716
Brian Benchoff 3834

Mathieu Stephan 180
Anool Mahidharia 160
Juan Aguilar 160

Plotting the number of articles per week, segregated by the top ten authors, over time gives the following picture:

You can clearly see where submitters became active and when when they stopped. Brian had a early submission somewhere in 2006 before he joined HAD. Mike Szczys was active early and then starting tailing off around 2013-- other behind the scenes activities I imagine.
