work analyzing the survey results. Basically, they need someone to
run a few SQL queries via JSON:
(1) The count of unique people, determined by full names and/or email
addresses, active in at least one mailing list/group, which would
provide an estimate of the number of active people in the Fedora
Accounts System. The count won't include actual names or addresses.
So we take the total set of FAS people and then look if that address is
subscribed to ANY of our mailing lists and if so then count them?
Is that right?
That count won't involve them actually POSTING, right?
(2) The distribution of mailing lists/groups per person (e.g., X
people are in 1 mailing list/group, Y people are in 2 mailing
lists/groups, Z people in a 3 mailing lists/groups, etc), which would
provide an estimate of how many mailing lists/groups active people are
typically part of in the Fedora Accounts System. Again, these counts
won't include actual names or addresses
I wonder where mpdehaan is when you need to abuse him.
In addition, there are some counts they need for specific
lists/groups
based on actual responses, and I can work with someone from
Infrastructure to get those.
responses? Please tell me we're not talking about going through the
archives.
Is there anyone who could assist me in pulling these numbers? We
can
do this after Fedora 13 GA, if people are hosed with workload right
now. The researchers are aware people are always very busy around
release time.
I can help. I reserve the right to cry and flagellate myself with some
sort of hooked whip.
