We've been lurking here on and off over the years and have noticed that, 
although you have a legacy web interface for your archive 
(http://www.nettime.org/archives.php), no one seems to have produced a 
longitudinal study, a type of birds-eye view, of the who, what, and when that 
constitutes Nettime.

Curiously, we had questions: What amount of activity occurs here over time? 
What is your relative liveliness? Who have been your most prolific or 
provocative contributors? Do you have distinct cohorts? What are the messages 
that were the most popular/replied to? And so on... In an attempt to answer 
these questions and, perhaps, to raise others, linked below is the basic survey 
we devised over the past few months.

Here are a few of examples of the type of statistics that we've collected:

In the era of "big data," as a corpus, mailing lists are suprisingly 
understudied (perhaps it is because they are so small... -- your entire archive 
(1995-2016) is only ~210M and fits on my 2004 thumb drive). Nonetheless, we 
believe that legacy systems, such as open crawlable mailing lists (GNU 
Mailman/Pipermail/Mhonarc), may retrospectively, in the future, provide a more 
lasting historical record of digital culture than today's all enveloping 
corporate-guarded social media.
