The Dunbar Number and the OSLIST

[Harrison Owen]

Artur - if you will check the acknowledgement that an item has been posted -
ordinarily it will tell you the number of folks who have received. I think
it is something like 450 - which is up a bit from recent, but just about
standard over time.

Subject: The Dunbar Number and the OSLIST

 

Hello all:

 

I think that Chris Allen's analysis on "The Dunbar number as a limit to
group sizes", posted in his blog, is very interesting and can give some
ideas about crisis points for the growing of lists, forums, etc - as well as
to companies and other organizations. You can see it at:

I have reasons to believe that the special conditions of the OSLIST allow us
to bypass those numbers without suffering too much. But I would like to
confirm this.

 

Can someone tell me how many members are there in the OSLIST at this moment?
And has someone access to the statistics of evolution in the last years?  

 

I would appreciate to receive those number through the list or directly.

 

Thanks and Regards

 

Artur
