Statistics > > B0. Introduction and timeline > > The SourceForge.net team has been working for nearly a year to complete > a total replacement of the existing project and site statistics > infrastructure. It is our pleasure to announce that this work is > reaching completion, and to provide some details to manage your > expectations about the launch of the new statistics service. > > We expect to announce no later than 2005-05-16 the timeline > for deployment of the new statistics system. This announcement will > be made via the the Site Status page. > https://sourceforge.net/docs/A04/ > > B1. Scalability, performance, outage reduction: > > The statistics system has been completely re-engineered as to cope with > the growing size of the site user base, and of our service offering. > With the launch of this new system, there are bound to be a few bugs > (though we've performed extensive QA review of these changes and systems > to try to reduce the problem set). We ask that all statistics related > bugs found post-launch be submitted to us for review (even if they seem > minor, or duplicative to those previously reported) at: > https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=add&group_id=1&atid=200001 > > B2. Project ranking formula change: > > One of the changes which is expected to most impact projects is the > alteration of the project ranking formula. This change may > significantly alter the top project rankings, giving greater ranking to > those projects who are not just frequently-downloaded, but also those > projects who are active in using the Tracker and communication tools > provided by the site. > > The OLD project ranking formula was: > log (3 * # of forum posts for that week) + log (4 * # of tasks ftw) + > log (3 * # bugs ftw) + log (10 * patches ftw) + log (5 * tracker items > ftw) + log (# commits to CVS ftw) + log (5 * # file releases ftw) + log > (.3 * # downloads ftw) > -- This has been detailed in our older Site Documentation as seen at: > https://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=14040&group_id=1 > > With the new statistics system launch, we expect to provide new Site > Documentation. The new documentation will include the final form of the > NEW ranking formula. The new ranking formula splits project rankings in > to three components: traffic, development, and communication. We expect > the new ranking formulas to be: > > Traffic: > ( > (log(last 7 days download total) / log(highest project download > total)) > +(log(last 7 days logo hits) / log(highest project logo hits)) > +(log(last 7 days site hits) / log(highest project site hits)) > ) / 3 > > Development: > ( > (log(last 7 days cvs commit total) / log(highest project total)) > +( (100-last file release age (days, max 100)) / 100 ) > +( (100-last admin login age (days, max 100)) / 100 ) > ) / 3 > > Communication: > ( > (log(last 7 days tracker artifact #) / log(highest project total)) > +(log(last 7 days ML post count) / log(highest project total)) > +(log(last 7 days forum post count) / log(highest project total)) > ) / 3 > > Total: > total = traffic + development + communication > > All of the 'highest' figures reference totals for the last 7 days. > In the case of 'log(last 7 day site hits for this project) / > log(last 7 day site hits for the project with the most site hits)', > for example: If Project X is the busiest site this week with > 10,000,000 hits and Project Y has had 200,000 hits then it's > Y score = log(200,000) / log(10,000,000) > > We believe that this ranking method gives us the capability to better > evaluate project activity, and to more directly reflect total product > activity in how projects receive site exposure via the top site > rankings. > > B3. Post-launch components and your feedback > > After the initial launch of the new statistics system, we will be > working to complete the components to track CVS activity and mailing > list activity. These components have not yet been completed, and are > expected to launch at a later date (to be announced after the initial > shake-out of the new system). > > Additional statistics system enhancements are also under consideration > for implementation after the initial launch. Once the initial launch > has occurred and you have had opportunity to examine the new facilities, > we encourage you to contact us (via our Feature Request Tracker) > regarding enhancements you would like to see. > https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=add&group_id=1&atid=350001 > > B4. Documentation > > The release of new documentation (within the SourceForge.net Site > Documentation collection) is expected to coincide with the new > statistics system launch. Links will be provided to the new > documentation from our Site Status page and Enhancements page. An > itemized overview of the major changes carried by the new statistics > system will be listed on the Enhancements page at time of launch. > https://sourceforge.net/docs/A03/ > https://sourceforge.net/docs/A04/ > > B5. Existing statistics data > > Existing statistics data (from the old statistics system) has been > carried forward to the new statistics system. For the time period that > the new system has actively been pulling real-time data from our > servers, we plan to recompute project ranking data. All other project > statistics should match those found in the old system. > > C. Conclusion > > Regarding Project Web: > > As documented here, project group directories will be remounted > read-only on 2005-05-23. All writable files will need to be placed > in the /tmp/persistent directory structure (create a subdirectory for > your project). Additional details may be found in section A, above. > > Regarding Statistics: > > We are considering the completion of our new statistics system to be > very high priority, and are taking only the time we need to ensure a > highly consistent and functional system has been implemented. > We expect to announce no later than 2005-05-16 the timeline > for deployment of the new statistics system.
