If the moderators of this mailing list are around, would they or
anyone else subscribed to the list be able to throw up some statistics
about how much the traffic has declined over the past few years? I'm
asking because looking at the archives, I think that last month
(November 2014) was the first month since the mailing list started in
September 2001 that there were no posts to the this mailing list (the
wiki-en-l mailing list for discussion of matters related to the
English Wikipedia).
Admittedly, the list has been moribund for a long time, but I'm not
sure exactly when the tipping point was reached (most meta-discussion
seems to take place either on-wiki, at meta, or on the Wikimedia-l
mailing list). What is the general view in the Wikimedia universe on
maintaining low-traffic lists like this? It might be time to discuss
what future this mailing list has.

Actually, looking at the list of moderators, how many of them are still around?

> The deadline set for new editor-in-chief applications is fast approaching.
> As I said two weeks ago:[1]

> "Why should you apply? First, you will have established contributors who
> are currently producing consistently stellar work, thus making your
> initial
> learning curve far smaller. Second, it is an area far different than
> Wikipedia itself; writers at the Signpost frequently use and develop a
> different range of skills such as editorial judgment and journalistic
> tenacity.
>
> "Third, the personal reporting you want to do is wide open. With "News and
> notes" having been on an extended hiatus, you are free to take it in the
> direction you want, but you will not have to fight to get readers—you will
> have thousands from the very beginning. Do you want to bring valuable
> content contributions to light? Do you want to examine arcane financial
> details of the Wikimedia Foundation and its affiliates? Do you want to
> investigate sockpuppet armies and their effects? Do you want to be the hub
> for fostering innovative ideas that will keep Wikipedia relevant for
> decades to come? The limit, quite literally, is your imagination."
>
> Please send an email to this address (wikipediasignpost(a)gmail.com) to
> indicate your interest. I would like to find two individuals so that the
> overall time commitment is smaller.

> I look forward to hearing from you.
