We are two persons maintaining the package (it is on alioth, <URL:https://alioth.debian.org/projects/popcon/>), and you should probably use our mailing list to discuss popcon plans. I do not have any short term plans for making it more widely known, except for my random reports of statistics on the mailing lists. For the long term, the debian-installer in etch ask during installation if the machine in question should report to popcon, so I hope that will increase the visibility significantly. Unfortunately, this feature was added after sarge was released, so it is not in sarge. > but is there anyone in the project with academic background about > this subject ? None of the current popcon maintainers have statistical background, as far as I know. We were in touch with someone interested in using the data set to make a recommender system for debian packages this summer, but nothing came out of this yet. I believe it would be a nice feature to have, allowing admins to get reports about packages they might find interesting based on their current set of installed packages. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
