From: Robert Feldt Date: 2002-01-24T19:36:35+09:00 Subject: ruby-talk stats up to and incl dec 01 Only a few people has requested that I update the stats diagram at http://rockit.sourceforge.net/ruby-talk-postings-stats.png but since its not much work I'll keep doing it for now. Since there has been some discussion on the number of posts here's some stats: Year Month # Posts Posts per day Change ---- ----- ------- ------------- ------ 1998 December 159 5.13 1999 January 63 2.03 -60.38% 1999 February 20 0.71 -68.25% 1999 March 21 0.68 5.00% 1999 April 35 1.17 66.67% 1999 May 67 2.16 91.43% 1999 June 41 1.37 -38.81% 1999 July 132 4.26 221.95% 1999 August 251 8.10 90.15% 1999 September 48 1.60 -80.88% 1999 October 54 1.74 12.50% 1999 November 59 1.97 9.26% 1999 December 66 2.13 11.86% 2000 January 194 6.26 193.94% 2000 February 436 15.03 124.74% 2000 March 652 21.03 49.54% 2000 April 311 10.37 -52.30% 2000 May 436 14.06 40.19% 2000 June 433 14.43 -0.69% 2000 July 555 17.90 28.18% 2000 August 420 13.55 -24.32% 2000 September 503 16.77 19.76% 2000 October 765 24.68 52.09% 2000 November 704 23.47 -7.97% 2000 December 1742 56.19 147.44% 2001 January 1751 56.48 0.52% 2001 February 1609 57.46 -8.11% 2001 March 1609 51.90 0.00% 2001 April 1055 35.17 -34.43% 2001 May 1643 53.00 55.73% 2001 June 1026 34.20 -37.55% 2001 July 1785 57.58 73.98% 2001 August 1735 55.97 -2.80% 2001 September 1208 40.27 -30.37% 2001 October 2116 68.26 75.17% 2001 November 2939 97.97 38.89% 2001 December 2784 89.81 -5.27% Although this supports the claims about "close to hundred per day" I still wouldn't want the list to split just yet. But I guess there is some treshold and IMHO we have been approaching it for some time now... Regards, Robert
