Hi, |
2 |
I'm wondering whether these stats are correct? They are captured |
3 |
from this page: |

If these stats are both correct and complete then I find them |
8 |
interesting, and maybe a bit disappointing. If they are incorrect then |
9 |
nothing below matters. |

|
11 |
Not meaning to cause too much of a hubbub but I was surprised at |
12 |
how much email traffic has fallen off for the Gentoo lists over the |
13 |
last couple of years. I suspect that some of this is folks moving to |
14 |
less technical environments - maybe Ubuntu or Arch - but still I was |
15 |
surprised that it was something like a 60% drop since the high in |
16 |
2006. I was also surprised at the drop off on gentoo-dev as it sort of |
17 |
correlates with my impression of bugs not being addressed as fast |
18 |
these days. |

Again, I don't want to cause some sort of flame war here. I |
21 |
personally love the distro and as I look at building a new i5 or i7 |
22 |
based machine I suspect it will be much faster to build and maintain |
23 |
Gentoo. I'd like to see the traffic growing, not falling. |
24 |
|
25 |
Maybe someone has written something on this already? |

Just observing, |
