Could you please adapt the map accordingly.


I am forwarding this to isabelle-dev, since it is where administrative

What is the general maintenance situation of the world map?

It is fun to see Isabelle being used all over the globe, but about half of 
the pins seem to be outdated, just from what I happen to know about the 
people mentioned there.

I wonder if it could somehow be wiki driven, so that people could edit it 
themselves?

I don't know how this is done technically, so I can't tell.

Socially, a wiki by itself merely accumulates rubbish.  In the best case 
it is just outdated like https://isabelle.in.tum.de/community/Main_Page

and in the worst case genuine junk added on purpose.

Wikipedia worked out, because they have substantial administrative 
structures around it (especially the .de one).

It is impressive first-year geographical reach, if not for absolute numbers.

What about a fully automatic system based on analysis of web server logs?

Yet another approach: to associate the world map with the AFP, with a pin at 
every address from which an AFP entry has been accepted (whether activity 
continues there or not). Then it is strictly monotonic and relatively low 
overhead. But of course, setting it up for the first time would be a pain.

 works well: the number of pins is not that impressive, and many are just 
 historical.

 There is always this unknown variable of actual Isabelle users.  We have 
 occasionally made some statistics from the server log of the mirror sites, 
 to guess the number of downloads.  Maybe we should to this again, but I 
 don't know how it works.

well, doesn’t Isabelle ship by default with the spy features^W^Wremote
remote solvers enabled for sledgehammer? Assuming that a representative
portion of users use sledgehammer and do not disable these, measuring
those remote requests should give you pretty precise numbers.

And I believe one of them disabled itself for me after heavy use, and
told me that I used up my allowance, so there must already be some
user-tracking and identifying in place (...scary, BTW).

Greetings,
Joachim
