Well, there's a little you can figure out:
First question (1) posted 04 Sep '10
Last question (17472) posted 05 Jan '13
So if we distribute that through some URL manipulation:
'10: #1570 +1570
'11: #8170 +6600
'12: #17341 +9171
'13: #17472 +131
(note: not all entries seem to have questions associated with them?)
Maybe the management panel can give some more stats.
This matches nicely with the drop in -user and -dev mailing entries.
Mailing lists seem to go out of style, like anything not web based.
Time to write a XUL interface for Wireshark?
Thanks,
Jaap
