Excellent; that's a useful suggestion for a solution.  Done.  The
left-hand side now shows the highwater mark for subscriptions, and
the right-hand side shows it for posts.

I must've missed the Page Length Tax announcement ;-)

Didn't you hear?  Tsk, tsk..
So why don't you have the peak right at the top instead of wasting the 
top 20% - isn't there extra tax for blank sections?

I find the page useful too.

However, it does take rather a long time to load.

Might I suggest the following:
- split the page into separate pages for each domain
and/or
- create a page with links to the chart images, instead of including them 
inline

Just a thought.

The page is for *all* public ASF lists.  'Public' meaning 'anyone
can subscribe without having to be moderated.'  If there are
lists that aren't showing up, it means that they require
subscriptions to be moderated.

This is the (in)famous Page Length Tax whose announcement was missed by
BenL earlier in the thread. ;-)

 I've revamped the Apache mailing lists data page a little bit.
 (http://www.apache.org/~coar/mlists.html)  For one thing, the
 moderator-supplied description for each list has moved to *below*
 the list statistics.  For another, I've added an activity graph
 for each list.

 The graph shows subscription and post activity for up to the last
 90 samples.  Since the sample interval is 1 day, that generally means
 three months.  If samples aren't collected for a week, though, it
 means the graph will cover 97 days, with the uncollected week's
 data silently missing from the graph.

 The graph is for showing trends *only*.  Both the post-count and
 the subscriber-count lines are scaled properly, but each uses
 its *own* scale to fit nicely into the chart.  So you can safely
 say, 'Cool!  More and more people are subscribing!' but not
 necessarily, 'Cool!  Four people subscribed last Tuesday!'

 I've attached a sample graph from the derby-dev list.

No, not unless you can convince of a way to do it that makes
sense.  As I said,

Trying to put numbers on it would require two sets of numbers, in
two colours, on both axes.  And to make them legible would require
enlarging the image, which would make the page considerably longer.

 enlarging the image, which would make the page considerably longer.

The second paragraph on the page is contextually removed from the graphs. 
Personally, I only looked at the graphs and didn't have a clue what the blue
lines and red lines meant.
Labels without units would be nice.  Or just a small key or legend link by
each graph which targets the 2nd paragraph (which then should be labelled key
or legend).

Sorry for so much nit-pickyness.  It's really cool to see the work you've put in
to this.
