The NUG is mainly used to discuss issues and problems you need help solving. The general decline in message volume prior to v.11 might indicate that version 2004 was mature and stable, and that most people could resolve their issues referring to previous messages (and that they had fewer problems as well). The uptick in messages since v.11 probably indicate the many problems in v.11 that users need help with. But the graph continues to increase; that's not a good sign. If v.11 were more stable, the message volume should be declining now that it's been out for several years. > One of the best indicators of a development community’s health is its internal > communication: more talk means more health; less talk means less health An unscientific glance at the graph seems to indicate there was more talk on the left side (version 2004) than on the right (v.11).

Another interpretation…

The NUG is mainly used to discuss issues and problems you need help solving. The general decline in message volume prior to v.11 might indicate that version 2004 was mature and stable, and that most people could resolve their issues referring to previous messages (and that they had fewer problems as well).

The uptick in messages since v.11 probably indicate the many problems in v.11 that users need help with. But the graph continues to increase; that’s not a good sign. If v.11 were more stable, the message volume should be declining now that it’s been out for several years.

An unscientific glance at the graph seems to indicate there was more talk on the left side (version 2004) than on the right (v.11).

Anyway, thanks for posting this; your observations do make an interesting discussion point! I certainly do hope the developer community is growing…

Cheers!
