Hey guys, Last night I put together a post that details some of the stats for this list: http://dougmccune.com/blog/2009/11/03/flexcoders-mailing-list-stats-pretty-graphs-full-dataset/
The post also contains a download of the entire archive of all flexcoders messages (up through last night). The file is a CSV file and contains the sender name, subject, and date of every message ever posted to the list. It contains 148,826 posts. I also have the full database archive (it's in MS Access format) that contains all the full-text of the messages, but that file is 1.5 gigs so I'm not posting it for download, but if someone has some ideas about what to do with it I can probably get it to you somehow. I know we had a long discussion back a long time ago about whether the list was declining in traffic, whether it should be split up, yadda yadda. I finally got around to getting a really good complete dataset to play with. Hope you enjoy the post and let me (and the rest of us on the list) know if you do anything cool with the data yourself. Doug
