Show relative growth % on stats page (gamification)

I think this can boost the competitiveness of smaller / new languages. Even though they have no chance of ever beating the larger ones in number of new messages, seeing the relative growth can help with engagement. I think new languages with only a few dedicated users working on them would benefit from this (i.e. seeing that they just increased the number of messages by 100+% percent, instead of just having negligable numbers next to their languages). The growth can be calculated from as far as from the start of the week.

I feel like that will plateau quickly. I think a different metric for activity could be weekly points per active user - it'd get eliminate the advantages of existing messages and the larger userbase that the bigger languages have.
