I cannot see the point, actually. Let's imagine we had the data today;  
What would we do with it? How would it become useful for the project?

IMO, it'd be good to know -for instance- the total number of  
downloads, although as long as there are many organizations (mirrors,  
Debian, etc) distributing the sources, there is no way to know it. It  
would be also good to know how we do with the global deployment, but  
we already got Netcraft (*1) for that.

So, unless someone comes up with a good reason for putting it in  
place, I wouldn't add it.

1.- By the way. Do you guys know of some Netcraft competitor? I mean,  
some other company/org. collecting the same sort of data.

I like the idea of supporting comments on the documentation pages.  
Though, I'm quite afraid of the whole lot of work that fighting the  
spammer herds would require us. We have had a few really bad  
experiences in the past (with forums, trac and bugzilla).

As soon as we get a good enough anti-spam mechanism, I'll be all for it.
