Re: Non-urgency of replacing Jive (Was: Priorities results)

Just to provide some more context, here's some Jive usage
date [1] for some typical mailing lists for last month.

list (*-discuss)  Jive Posters  Jive Msgs  Total Msgs
-------------------------------------------------
    smf              13            21        171
    networking       17            28        205
    code             25            39        394


Here's the pipline I used to come up with this. Run it on an
mbox of
mailing-list messages. (You'll need the formail tool from
the procmail
package):

cat <mbox-file> | formail -s formail -c -X Message-ID
-X From: | perl -ne 'chomp if /^F/;print' | grep
'JavaMail.Twebapposs-app1' | sort

Sorry, that last one was the opensolaris-code list.

So only a very small percentage of messages come in through
Jive, no
wonder it was a low priority.  The figures for the help or
main discuss
lists would be a better indicator of "first
contact" postings.

Given the mail that's just come in on request-sponsors and a
couple
other lists, the more interesting question (though harder to
grep for)
is what percentage of those few Jive messages are spam,
since Jive
bypasses the "must be subscribed to mailing list"
check to filter the
spam.
