[Bigbang-dev] Potential things to ask of big bang

[Davide Beraldo]

Hi Corinne (and all),

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

> 1. who (what email address) has sent how many emails to a given list
> over a given time period (month/year mostly)
yes

> 2. how many people are subscribed to a list in total?
if I remember correctly, not even in principle

> 3. how many emails have been sent in a given period of time?
yes

> 4. the average number of emails over a given period of time?
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 sure

> 5. The highest number of replies to a particular thread over a given
> period of time?
i'm also not sure here: do you mean the user you sent more emails within
a thread? or the thread with the most replies?


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.

Cheers,
Davide
