OK...so here are the stat's so far. 6+BDFL - who would support my crazy idea, or think it -might- be ok 11 - who are on the fence 6 - who think this is a complete waste of time, a stupid idea, or just simply want to kill me
-> from these stats i can deduce the following: total_members_comp.lang.python = 14433 note: I will be fair and remove spammers or members that don't follow this list anymore by dividing the total number in half.(this should be generous enough) total_actual_members = (14433/2) = 7214 total_num_responders = 11 ->current stats: <11> percentFor = 31 percentNay = 27 percentOnFence = 40 ->Forecast of turnout: <7214> potentialFors = 2,236.34 potentialConverts = 2,885.34 totalPotentials = 5,121.68 even if only 10% of these act...that is 512 people.
