In the TinkerPop HipChat room, Daniel Gruno shared some stats related to usage of the dev list. They are quite interesting:
https://pony-poc.apache.org/[email protected]:lte=1M Why "interesting"? Because we made a number of changes to how the TinkerPop community operates in the last 30 days (code reviews, hipchat, open hangouts, less dependence on JIRA for all development discussion, etc) and I was wondering how those changes were manifesting in the dev mailing list. As the link above shows, the result of these changes has shown a significant increase in traffic on the list. But it's not just "more traffic". Dig in a little bit and look at who's generating the traffic - for instance - here's a view on just "code review" and PRs from github: https://pony-poc.apache.org/[email protected]:lte=1M:github we have increased participation from a number of individuals. Finally, consider the original stats Daniel shared over the last three months: https://pony-poc.apache.org/[email protected]:lte=3M this has been a positive trend we've been seeing and the changes we made only further expanded on that. So, take from it what you will - it's all just numbers, but I think there's a lot of positive to take from this information. ....oh - and if this is your first time seeing pony mail - you have been missing out. imo, it's a far better alternative to the other mail archives that are hanging around out there. Thanks, Stephen
