How large is the LibreOffice community? A mailing list approach

For quite a while, I have been asked about the number of subscriptions in our mailing lists. I’ve now spent some time in the night and hacked a little bash script, to compile recent numbers, and will regularly post these to our moderators mailing list. Today’s statistics, for example, are available in this posting.

For the future, I plan to enhance the script to show some more statistics, like the number of total postings, the number different countries, the number of moderators, and some graphical representation of the data. Stay tuned!
