OpenSC mailing list statistics for 2011

After the MUSCLE mailing list statistics for 2011 I also did the operation for two OpenSC mailing lists. The opensc-users list has been merged in the opensc-devel mailing list in August 2011. So the statistics presented here represent the sum of both lists.

Comments

Top poster

I am also the top poster on the OpenSC mailing list. I am surprised by this result. Maybe because many questions are related to PCSC?

Number of messages

This list has 3.2 times more messages than the MUSCLE mailing list. I can propose different explanations for that:

  • the MUSCLE project is more mature than OpenSC
  • bugs/issues are reported on the OpenSC mailing list because that is what users use even if the problem is in PCSC or libccid
  • pcsc-lite and libccid are easy to use. No configuration is needed (no more serial port to select) and the same driver (libccid) now can be used by any modern USB reader (no more a specific driver per reader)
  • PKCS#11 use is developing because citizen cards are deployed in "many" countries
  • Problems are more complex to track in OpenSC so more emails are needed to solve them
  • many other reasons

1 person, 2 emails

Some people (like Viktor Tarasov) use 2 different email on the list. So his rank is not correct. I don't think that is a real problem.

Cross posts

From the top 30 threads, 7 threads are cross posted to the MUSCLE list. From the MUSCLE statistics only 1 of the 30 top threads is a cross post.
I don't know how to interpret this result.
