Subscriptions to the osg-users mailing list took at hit when mailman/dreamhost cleaned out email addresses that were bouncing, over 200 addresses were unsubscribed. I did a review of small sample of those the addresses had been automatically unsubscribed and they bounced when I tried emailing them directly so rather than be cautious I've gone with the assumption that mailman new what it was doing, and if any of the unsubscription were in error then those unlucky souls would just have to resubscribe. Subscriptions have continued to grow since this mass unsubscription and now is at 1844. > Of course we do not have a map "who is who" on the mailing list and on the > forum.

I can provide the subscriber list to osg-users if you want to do a comparison. In the past few years the osg-users mailing list has grown at just under rate of 1 person per day, so your figure of 100 joining the past month would suggest that quite a few of that number are moving across from the mailing list to forum rather than it being just new members coming to the forum. As time goes on it'll be interesting to see if new members predominantly go to the forum or to the mailing list, and also what happens to original mailing list members. Robert.
