Hello,
As far as it is about me, I can say that I left wikimedia-l twice or
three times. I left mainly because of the high amount of mails, also
often not very useful mails, "witty" remarks in 1-2 lines for example.
But I think that this is a good example for a quantitative research
that should later lead you to a qualitative look. And maybe it is
indeed an indicator for something. In systems theory, one might think
that the social system shows an internal differentiation so that
people go to more specialized lists.
Isnt't there literature about the traffic on mailing lists?
Kind regards,
Ziko

Here's a list of possible metrics that we
could use for measuring
community health.
That's a great list, with some great metrics. I'd be included to add some
silo-breaking metrics which measure activity across projects or across silos
within projects:
* Number of editors with actions/edits on more than N wikis (N=2, N=3, etc)
* Number of editors with actions/edits on more than N namespaces on the same
wiki (N=2, N=3, etc)
...
cheers
