It looks to me that org-mode received around 873 votes which is pretty good in my book. PortableApps.com, a heavily advertised commercial product for Windows, could only muster 3880 votes. I am guessing that the percentage of PortableApps.com users who voted for it is much smaller than the percentage of org-mode users who voted for org-mode. The PortableApps.com website claims that 100 million portable apps have been downloaded which must mean that the number of users of PortableApps.com is huge compared to the number of users of org-mode. With no advertising, no money, and a much smaller user base, org-mode outperformed PortableApps.com in the voting. Sounds like a victory to me.

I just have to agree with that... redefine the vote rule to be scientifically correct it should be impact = votes/user-base this gives a similar value like the impact factor of scientific journals (published papers / overall citation of papers) which more clearly depict the importance of the journal to its particular field. I guess with that org-mode might be the winner :) Even if we just use the number of downloads I would say the number of downloads for org-mode is at least two to three magnitudes smaller then PortableApps which makes org-mode (8.7e-4) has a 22.5 times higher impact then PortableApps (3.88e-5). By the way is the number of org-mode users known somehow (and how to estimate it in future bundled with emacs23) ? Would be interesting to see how much people use org-mode Nevertheless, even without this it was amazing to see that org-mode made it so far. Bye Totti CC. Maybe someone should suggest this new rule set to sourceforge... and then lets see how 2010 is going on :) ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
