http://metricsgrimoire.github.io/MailingListStats/ is a tool I've used in the past for reporting on lists as a whole. It does, however, do the list. There may be bits you can use though, for users (or grep out "their" lines in the output, maybe using `list_members` and a for… loop). For the stats on the word count/quoted/sizes, per user, you could compute that on a regular base, although you may run into issues on quoting (in particular, the quoting indicator: ^> is not always going to be accurate. TBH: it sounds as though you may be trying to solve a social problem, not a technological one. -- "What lawyers call intellectual property is no more than theft from the public domain." -- Andy Mueller-Maguhn ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
