There are just over 1000 subscribers to the list (no gender figures available for those). You can see from http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-lod/2013Jun/author.html who the most vocal participants are.

If you like SPARQL you can achieve this using:

$ curl -H "Accept:text/csv" --data-urlencode "query=PREFIX xsd:<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#> SELECT ?creator (COUNT(?post) AS ?count) {<http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-lod/latest.rss> <http://rdfs.org/sioc/ns#container_of> ?post . ?post <http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/creator> ?creator; <http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/date> ?date . FILTER (xsd:dateTime(?date) > \"2013-06-01T00:00:00Z\"^^xsd:dateTime)} GROUP BY ?creator ORDER BY DESC(?count)" euclid.sti2.org:8080/openrdf-sesame/repositories/platform

At the EUCLID review we had a nice Information Workbench front-end to this monitoring endpoint - I'd like to open this up in the coming days as I think most people would appreciate a barchart from a Web link, rather than a CSV from a command-line.

That said, what I'd like to do is to send an email to each new poster and invite them to fill out a form with their confirmed preferred name, volunteered other identities (Twitter handle, etc.) and now I'm thinking gender.

Would people find this very intrusive, or is that a worthwhile idea?
