Gossip also was having problems, with the Mailman chewing up a lot of CPU for no good reason. That was another contributor to the latency in archiving; we've more or less caught up by now, and I see there is only a few hours lag at the moment. I think the problem was upgrading Mailman which got the aliases in /etc/aliases out of sync. I've tried correcting that, and this message is something of a test. Gossip has 164 subscribers these days.
Speaking of statistics, I ran the web server statistics for the past week and put them at the usual place [1]. The analysis program claims that about 25% of all accesses to Mail-Archive are from "robots" like Google. I don't know how much stock to put in those numbers; the tool may be underreporting. The other neat stat from my perspective is that half a million unique hosts visited Mail-Archive last week. If Mail-Archive touched the lives of about half a million people, even in a small, insignificant way, that's kind of fun. I'm probably going to package an upgrade to the latest MHonArc tonight - there shouldn't be any user-visible changes, but as long as I'm fixing stuff might as well take care of it. What else? Growth is going about ask expected, with about 130 GB of search index data and 130 GB split between HTML pages and recent raw text representation of email. I have no idea how many pages that actually is; the counter on the Mail-Archive homepage is just some estimator which is probably totally off. Lost of room to spare; I won't have to worry about disk space for months and months. Random email comments or requests (i.e. someone feels compelled to contact me via personal mail regarding Mail-Archive) is about one per week and holding steady. That's good; I'm glad to see that that sort of thing doesn't suck away too much time. Well, that's about it, hope all is well out there on the net. -Jeff [1] http://www.mail-archive.com/stats.html _______________________________________________ Gossip mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.mail-archive.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gossip
