Hi all, I wanted to get a better understanding from my impression of the significant increase in traffic on lilypond-devel.
For this I did some statistics on James' "PATCHES - Countdown" messages. Since patches are counted multiple times while flowing through the process I think the only relevant metric is the "New" section, and this should not be calculated by the countdown message but averaged by day. And the results are convincing: Four weeks leading to the Salzburg conference: 0,32 new patches per day Since Salzburg: 1,46 patches per day Of course these are no scientifically hardened results - but they match the feeling of excited frenzy visible on this list. However sustainable the effect may be, the short term impact of the developer meeting and the conference seems to have been remarkable. Urs
