and you can see the monthly postings since may 2001 at:
http://jobs.perl.org/about/stats
dunno what more you need. trivial to download that and pipe it into a
graphing thingie of your choice. a quick eyeballing shows solid growth
in each year and never a major long term downslide in postings per
month. part of this is due to repeated posts
for the same unfilled jobs and also the word keeps spreading about the
site and list. more agencies and companies seem to be using it.
the only downtrend i see is that december seems to always be a
low month but that makes sense.
if ask could handle another task, breaking the stats down by different
posters it would be interesting to see. but alas, i won't ask ask to do
another task!
