Mailing-lists statistics

[glaforge]

Hi all,

As I was recovering some data on an old laptop, I stumbled upon a very
old file I had which listed the number of subcribers to our
mailing-lists.
And for those who like some statistics, here are some numbers.

For Groovy, back in december 2005, we had those figures:

groovy:announce:7
groovy:dev:237
groovy:jsr:129
groovy:scm:49
groovy:user:368

total = 790 subscribers

And today, here's what we have:

groovy:announce:236
groovy:dev:430
groovy:jsr:166
groovy:scm:75
groovy:user:839

total = 1746 subscribers

That's an increase of 127% for the user list, and of 81% for the dev list.
Ie. we've doubled. Not bad.

Now for Grails, it's even funnier, because Grails was only a few months old.
See the figures for december 2005:

grails:announce:2
grails:dev:22
grails:scm:9
grails:user:20

total = 53 subscribers

And today:

grails:announce:67
grails:dev:274
grails:scm:47
grails:user:631

total = 1019

Well, for Grails, I won't dare calculating the increase in percentage :-)


I thought it would just be fun to give you those figures to see the
progress we made since almost two years ago.

Someone wrote me today asking for updated figures regarding
mailing-list statistics.
So, as I thought others may be interested in these stats, here they are.


There's been a nice upward trend those past three months:

grails-user 860 (36% increase)
grails-dev 367 (34% increase)
grails-announce 84 (25% increase)
grails-scm 57 (21% increase)

Total: 1368 (34% increase)


groovy-user 949 (13% increase)
groovy-dev 467 (9% increase)
groovy-announce 276 (17% increase)
groovy-scm 76 (1% increase)
groovy-jsr 175 (5% increase)
groovy-eclipse 83 (wasn't counted before)

Total: 2026 (16% increase)


And these days, the Groovy lists receive about 100 mails a day, and
the Grails lists 150.

Hope you find it interesting.
