Why does this page show PCBSD has count of 387
http://www.bsdstats.org/bt/home.html?os=
And this page shows PCBSD has count of 1307
http://www.bsdstats.org/bt/home.html?os=PC-BSD
Why is this? I would think both should show the same value, or you
better add explanation to the web page why the count is different.
And that little selection box on the home page should have some
explanation of its function. Just sticking it there on the right side of
the page above the titles hoping someone will fall into it is not user
friendly.
What is going on with the "release stats"? What are you showing there?
Is that just for Freebsd? If so then the count is incorrect. This should
be showing the count for each release under each operating system. IE.
what release are in use for freebsd, netbsd, openbsd ect.
Website also needs explanation of the time frame being reported. Are the
values shows as of the the first day of the current month? In general
the website does not explain much of anything about what is being shown.
Put a lot more text describing the overall process and the reporting
cycle. Also think some kind of operating system monthly growth chart
over time is needed. Say going back 3 years to current.
The current website is way to passive in the way things are worded. Try
to inspire people to show their loyalty, allegiance, and devotion by
running the bsdstats client to anonymously report their usage to the
benefit of everyone. Developers donate large amounts of their personal
free time working on the operating systems, the least the users can do
is fulfill their obligation to demonstrate their gratitude to the
developers by running bsdstats. Emphasize the reporting is anonymously.
Website needs to promote it self more. Get on the home page of all the
different BSD systems. Try to become a default part of the BSD systems
basic release. Like PCbsd does. Not option to go get it and turn it on,
but all ready there with option to turn off if desired. This is only
self promotion of the individual operating systems and should be
something they should be interested in doing.
