PageRank
Public notes, links, gists, guide roots, and guide chapters ranked by
PageRank
on the internal id-link graph (damping 0.85). Unlisted posts are omitted. A
link from a page that itself receives many strong incoming links counts for
more than a link from a peripheral page. The score is relative to a uniform
baseline of 1.0 (higher means more central). For raw inbound counts without
PageRank, see
