Hello,
I'd very much like to collect statistics about how many subscribe to fsfe-fi@. Since we havn't got any new Finnish fellows, this would be the second best indicator of our success.
Could you please add the following crontab line for the user that owns the mailing lists?
0 4 * * * /bin/date|tr -d '\n' >> $HOME/fsfe-fi-stats.log; echo -n ', '
$HOME/fsfe-fi-stats.log; $HOME/mailman/bin/list_members fsfe-fi | wc
-l >> ~/fsfe-fi-stats.log
(I assume your mailman installation is normal.)
Then you should have a second process that would copy the log file somewhere I have access to, so that I can manually check how the subscriber amount grows by time.
If you could attach this statistics to the weekly fellowship statistics, it would be über-great, but I guess that would require more work and as I've understood you system hackers are already under quite a work load, so maybe later.
