That information is available via the API in a total format (basically the old download formats). I think for someone evaluating the popularity of a package the new format is much more useful. Obviously there is more information that _could_ be displayed (with varying amounts of effort) but you run the risk of overwhelming the user with stats. There's a lot more I'd like to do in general statistics wise geared towards different targeted audiences. There aren't exact plans right now as there are more pressing concerns and it needs to be done in a way that tells a useful "story" without overwhelming people with numbers. ----------------- Donald Stufft PGP: 0x6E3CBCE93372DCFA // 7C6B 7C5D 5E2B 6356 A926 F04F 6E3C BCE9 3372 DCFA
