maybe somewhat related. I have noticed that the Jena project was the biggest loser in the db-engines ranking for the year ending in April 2019.
https://db-engines.com/en/ranking https://db-engines.com/en/system/Apache+Jena+-+TDB Jena is now down to place 118 from 85 in April 2018. I have very briefly discussed this with Andy Seaborne but would like to hear from dev list members on this and the db ranking in general. Is there anything we can learn from this that would help us to raise visibility and recognition of the project? Should the ranking be ignored?
