The idea is to have some numbers at hand which could give a first impression about the behavior of our target group. > What do you want for info? What are you looking for? I'm looking for any piece of info. I know numbers are difficult to interprete but I'm curious if there are data which might be of some use. The big questions behind are, how could we learn more about our target group? For whom are we producing all the books, guides and translations? What do people prefer? How could we improve our services? What do they search for? and so on. Might be of motivational aid for authors, translators etc. to know that several thousands of books have been sold ;-) To be honest, the idea came up when I tried to find out how often the Doc Wiki pages have been requested so far (using Special:PopularPages). I was surprised that a page I had started translating in 2006 just for fun (DE/Makro Basic Tutorial) has got the most requests of all DE/ pages. And the translation had been nearly finished in the meanwhile by others. So a bunch of people must have searched for it and have found it and have been inspired to add value. Ok, there was another question: the Germanophone community had the idea it might be preferable to focus documentation team efforts on keeping a very small number of documents very much up to date instead of trying to maintain all the guides. So download numbers might give some hints which documents are needed most.
