MUSCLE mailing list statistics for 2012
A new year is a good time for analysis of the past. As I did in 2009, 2010 and 2011 I propose some statistics of the MUSCLE mailing list usage.
| Year | Total number of messages | Progression |
| 2009 | 603 | |
| 2010 | 718 | +19% |
| 2011 | 999 | +39% |
| 2012 | 207 | -79% |
You can notice a huge drop in the number of messages.
I have no real explanation in this drop of number of messages:
- Maybe PC/SC on Unix is mature enough and problems are now solved (or with solutions available from the mailing list archives, blogs, etc.).
- Maybe PC/SC is a dead API, smart card is a dying technology and people are moving to something else/newer/more fun like NFC
- I also note that the activity of the PC/SC workgroup is very limited. Microsoft is no more a member of the PC/SC workgroup. Do not expect many changes in the Windows PC/SC layer.
Statistics from 3.1.2012 to 11.12.2012
