Some basic mailing list stats

I just compiled a quick list showing the numbers of subscribers to each of the OSGeo hosted mailing lists. I found the results quite interesting and now want to dig into the stats from projects that have externally hosted mailing lists.

Here were the top ten in terms of number of subscribers:

List
Subscribers
ANNOUNCE
630
MAPGUIDE-USERS
560
DISCUSS
537
MAPBENDER_USERS
258
AFRICA
151
MAPGUIDE-ANNOUNCE
143
SPANISH
137
MAPGUIDE-INTERNALS
136
WEBMAP-DISCUSS
102
OTTAWA_USERS
99

That's over 2,700 subscribers on 10 lists. Over all the lists there are over 4,000 subscribers. Of course there is some overlap between the people who are registered, but I still personally found it interesting.

But the big question... who will be the 100th Ottawa Local Chapter subscriber? ;-)
