This is an extension of the previous analysis (through July 2015) to be through
August 2015.
It is also an initial effort to provide some measure of the quality of the
discussions in terms of being PMC-necessary or being PMC-unnecessary. By
PMC-unnecessary is meant discussion that is explicitly not included in what
must be conducted on a PMC and that is best conducted in the full community
(i.e., on this dev@ list) if at all.
For the qualitative appraisal, the month of August is analyzed by itself. This
establishes a base for month-by-month qualitative comparisons, starting with
the analysis for September.
NUMBER OF SUBJECTS AND AMOUNT OF DISCUSSION
July August YTD
Posts 237 208 1549
Topics 28 33 195
Average 8.5 6.3 7.9
with some tallying errors between the traffic and the topics.
PMC-UNNECESSARY TOPICS. By manual inspection, I identified 6 of the 33 August
topics as PMC-unnecessary. That 18% of topics accounted for 72/208 = 35% of
the posts.
OVERALL PRIVATE MESSAGE TRAFFIC
(243 days from January 1 through August 31)
2015 | Private List Messages | August
thru August | PMC ASF Other All | PMC
% 84 14 2
Totals 1306 222 36 1564 161

Per day 5.4 0.9 0.1 6.4 5.2
prev 5.4 0.9 0.1 6.4 7.1
The annualized rate does not vary significantly with the addition of August.
There is noticeable difference between July and August, however, with August
the quieter month.
In August, for the 161 messages from the 15 PMC members who posted to the list,
53% of the messages are from the three
PMC members who were the most vocal
76% of the messages are from the six
most vocal
91% were from the most vocal 9 of the
15 PMC members that posted
approximating the overall pattern through July.
