<p>Hi Corinne (and all),<br>
</p>
Most of my answers above should be read 'in principle', in the sense
not all of them can be answered straightforwardly with existing
notebooks, but it would be easy to create an ad hoc one / amend the
existing ones<span class=""><br>

not sure what do you mean with average here: across mailing lists?
average as in per day? per user? all these can be implemented for

i'm also not sure here: do you mean the user you sent more emails

Anyway, this points to an issue that we somehow overlooked: we miss
a 'descriptive statistics' notebook / collection in the examples.
There was something in the SummerSchool collection but might be
broken and somehow fell out in the gardening (my fault!). How urgent
is this? I would be happy to work on it, but this and next week are
pretty packed.<br></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">I am trying to get a chapter for which this would be very helpful out the door in the next two weeks and happy to think with you on how best to approach this in big bang!</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">Best, </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div text="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
