gnus market share results

[Arcady Genkin]

To find myself something to do instead of preparing for exam on
Thursday I have been fooling around with Python. As a little project I
wrote a script that checked all articles available on my news server
in gnu.* and comp.* hierarchies to see what share of articles was
posted with Gnus.

In a nutshell, in gnu.* the share is 38.94%, while in comp.* it's only
1.9%. Total of 5850 articles were checked in gnu.*, and 602000 in
comp.*.

The script and the full results are posted for your scrutiny at
http://soup/~antipode/gnus/

I've put the script in my crontab to run once a month.

That may be a good URL to you, but I don't have your default searchpath. :)

See how Python corrupts your brain?  A Perl hacker would never had
made that mistake!
