At the University of Tennessee at Knoxville we host around 900 lists. We
have one Customer Support person who says:
Here's my WAG ... 1 hour to setup and teach a list owner how to manage
their new list ... Then on the average 30 minutes a day for all
listserv related questions for our 800-1000 lists ... your mileage may
vary ;)
On the system admin side, I probably spend less than 30 minutes a week on
list creation and deletion, log monitoring, and answering the occasional
"I swear I didn't approve that message" query. I don't stay that
up-to-date with software upgrades (typically, only when there's a major
security issue), but testing and installing an upgrade can take several
days spread out over a few weeks, as L-Soft has been including interface
changes with most of the upgrades lately, and I like to let my customer
support and major users have a crack at them in test mode before going
into production. Ditto with the even more rare hardware upgrades.
