The metrics will primarily extract the activity of a mailing list and its users. It is possible to emphasize on the quality of the posts but i think this is a different app (but it interacts with the Metrics one). If the users were able to rank the posts through the archiver it wouldn't be hard to indicate one user's offering to his community. This looks like the first idea on this page [1]. > P.S. > Do you also plan to deliver a tool that analyzes a mailing list archive in > order to gather your statistical data?

Yes, there will be a special Generate button in case of an existing archive or in case of a system crash.
