Above are histograms that portray the number of Unidata email responses for individual topics of support for a one year period ending April 1, 2008. The histograms are arranged by yearly activity averages with the highest on the left and lowest on the right. Each quarter year within the period is depicted from oldest to newest from left to right. The number of responses has been normalized to weekly averages so that the support load over the various periods can be easily compared.
