With a safe distance to April 1st, here are the latest
statistics:

Overall traffic remained around the levels (*) we've seen during
the last half year. Milymist slowed down a bit while qi-hardware
picked up some volume - on IRC, they even traded places, ending
the five month reign of #milkymist, at least for now.

(*) devel-milkymist mailing list traffic corrected for patches.
    With the patches included, it had an inflated volume from
    October to December 2011.

The devel-milkymist list saw a low of activity in early March,
with the review of the schematics for the next revision of M1,
the M1r4. The reviews also kept both IRC channels busy, with
issues specific to M1 on #milkymist and more general (but still
related) topics also sometimes on #qi-hardware.

In the last weeks, the Qi-Hardware side came alive again with
the new OpenWRT release for the Ben, the various issues that
popped up, and their resolution.

There are also news about the statistics: I now generate a plot
for the mailing list traffic as well. I think this makes the
text version much less useful and I can safely drop it next
month.

Also, the statistics have moved from my junkyard
http://downloads.qi-hardware.com/people/werner/tmp/
to their own place at
http://downloads.qi-hardware.com/people/werner/stat/

Copies of the old graphs are still in tmp/, so older links will
continue to work.
