not sure - thought I remembered that the lists are defunct now. The Facebook spot is just a group - is there a mailing list somewhere there as well?
AdrianS
the AltME numbers are bogus though - I got those from the web archive which shows only the web-public activity (and a non-constant one at that, if you hit F5 repeatedly)
I'd like to get the true numbers
Ladislav
what is "f8bk"? You mean facebook? Fb is not a mailing list, I think. The
I took the liberty of taking AdrianS's posting, reformatted it to Markdown (only minimal changes necessary), added IRC, reordered things slightly, and updated two few counts.
Ladislav, I agree about the level of activity not being as useful if the number of contributors is not specified, but for now this will have to do. The way to do this is through some reasonably smart scripting that can obtain a better breakdown of posts by user, either through scraping or some sort of API, if available.

GrahamC, Ladislav: are you ok with this group becoming web-public as is?
(For the record: I am ok with it.)
AdrianS
Thanks for the additions, Andreas. It was my intent to have this in Markdown or something like it to have it be easily posted to any web site that could accept such content.
Ladislav
OK
"obtain a better breakdown of posts by user" - I do not criticize your findings, I do not even think it is needed to know how many contributors there are; that was rather an observation from me related to one "prolific" contributor
AdrianS
well, I actually think that this breakdown is useful myself because it's true that some people are just so much more 'prolific' than others
Gregg
Thanks for reviving this Adrian.
GrahamC
I'm okay. This summary though looks like it would be tedious to do. Can it be scripted?
