8. /statistics: There are three arguements to this command. The first two arguments are MANDATORY for the query to execute The first argument is to know whom to check for. The available options are -i, -b, -a. • -i stands for individual user. After the -i flag you can give the email address of the person you want. Ex: /statistics -i mail1 • -b stands for batch. After the -b flag you can mention the batch you want to track. The available options as of now are 2015,2016 and 2017 Ex: /statistics -b 2016 • -a stands for all users. All the people in the FOSS mailing list will be considered. Ex: /statistics -a The second argument is for time period. The available options are -d, -p, -h • -d stands for a day. After the -d flag you can give a day in dd-mm-yy format. If no argument is given then by default yesterdays day is taken Ex: /statistics [argument1] -d 02-07-18 /statistics [argument1] -d Examples of acceptable dates 2-7-18 02-7-18 2-07-18 02-07-18 • -p stands for period. You must specify two dates after this flag. The first date is the start_date and the second date is the end_date. The dates should be of dd/mm/yy format. Ex: /statistics [argument1] -p 02-07-18 02-08-18 • -h stands for history. It means that you will get the analysis from the start of time (in our case 01-07-18) to yesterdays date. No input is needed after this flag Ex: /statistics [argument1] -h The third argument is for knowing the type of graph to display output. The availabe options are -pie, -line. This argument is OPTIONAL For the -i flags the default value is -pie For the -a, -h flags the default value is -line But you override these default values by simply mentioning the flag you want NOTE: If the -d flag is used the default value is -pie and it cannot be overriden because there is no point in viewing a line graph with one node :P Ex: /statistics [argument1] [argument2] -pie /statistics [argument1] [argument2] -line

    Ex: /statistics -i mail1 -d
        /statistics -b 2016 -p 02/07/18 15/7/18
        /statistics -b 2016 -h
        /statistics -a -h
        (and many more combinations supported)",
   

NOTE: This is a public bot. To make sure that the wrong people do not get the status updates of the FOSS mailing list you are required to request access from the admin. All you have to do is send the /request_access command. Until the admin accepts your request, you will not be getting the status updates of others. But you can keep editing your preferences till then i.e you can add who to follow and not. Once the admin accepts your request, you will be getting a notification. Similary the admin can revoke your access at any point of time.
