[U-Boot] Short Mailing List statistics

[Wolfgang Denk]

Hi,

for those interested in statistical data here some numbers about the
U-Boot mailing list.  This is a quick and dirty result basing on my
local archive, so there may be a few (minimal) differences like
single-digit differences in the number ot messages per year or so.

Year	Total number	Messages	Trend compared
	of messages	per day		to prev. year
-------------------------------------------------------
2002	     497           1.4  	      +0.00%
2003	    5621          15.4		   +1030.99%
2004	    7141          19.6		     +27.04%
2005	    5572          15.3    	     -21.97%
2006	    6274          17.2  	     +12.60%
2007	    9548          26.2  	     +52.18%
2008	   18446          50.5  	     +93.19%
2009	   21358          58.5  	     +15.79%
2010	   18963          52.0  	     -11.21%
2011	   28839          79.0  	     +52.08%
2012	   29518          80.9  	      +2.35%
2013	   27110          74.3  	      -8.16%
2014	   30339          83.1  	     +11.91%
2015	   40101         109.9  	     +32.18%
2016	   37785         103.5  	      -5.78%
2017	   38698         106.0  	      +2.42%
2018	   38022         104.2  	      -1.75%

It would be interesting to analyze what happened in 2007, 2008, 2011
and 2015 to result in such a jump of messages...


Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk

Making files is easy under  the  UNIX  operating  system.  Therefore,
users  tend  to  create  numerous  files  using large amounts of file
space. It has been said that the only standard thing about  all  UNIX
systems  is  the  message-of-the-day  telling users to clean up their
files.                             - System V.2 administrator's guide
