I just cracked open the users.pickle for sagenb, and found that there are 250443 total users. Of these, only 18688 (or 7.4%) actually have the email field set -- all others are blank. I guess these might be exactly the openid accounts. Of these, 15058 are gmail accounts, which are probably the Google openid accounts. Oh, for some reason many emails are duplicated, e.g., dimp...@gmail.com appears twice. In any case, there are 17705 uniques. I've never sent an email to 17705 people before... -- William > > > It should be easy to harvest emails from the account and > do a couple of rounds of mass-mailing. > > If the emails are there, but nothing is done, it'd lead to the loss > of quite a few karma points amoung unsuspecting sagenb.org users... > > If you need hands to do so, please ask around here, I am sure people > who can and will do this quickly can be found. > (well, I can spend few hours on this if needed) > > Dima > > > >> >>> Perhaps emailing then would alleviate the problem a bit. >>> >>> Due to shutdown of Google's OpenID users who access the server using it >>> won't >>> be able to login after 17th of April. >>> >>> >>> -- >>> You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups >>> "sage-devel" group. >>> To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an >>> email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. >>> To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com. >>> Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel. >>> For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. >> >> >> >> -- >> William (http://wstein.org) >> > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "sage-devel" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com. > Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. -- William (http://wstein.org) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
