guys- the statistics that sourceforge gives for who is visiting the ganglia web site are very limited (we can only see that total number of visits). to get better reporting i've linked the page to nedstat. at the very bottom of the page you'll see a tiny graph icon... click it to view the info.
from the statistics page.. you can look at "Here and Now" (immediate overall summary), "When" (day, hour time series), "Where from" (way cool map of the world colored based on visitors.. countries, cities, etc), "How" (what sites referred them, search engine keywords, etc), and "With what" (web browsers and operating systems). if you ever lose your motivation when coding on ganglia visit this page. :) we have only been collecting stats for 1.5 days (and the weekend at that!) and already we have 151 page hits from 21 different countries. the most common search word people use is "ganglia" meaning they didn't just trip upon our site but where actively searching for us (a distance second is "cluster"). you'll find over 25 sites that link us directly and those sites have positive comments about ganglia (of course some of the links come from web frontends that people are running out there... it's not an accident that i put a hyperlinked logo at the top of the page :)). our largest referrer right now is http://www.idealx.com/resources/guide.fr.html which tests hundreds of open source cluster packages and rates them based on feature richness, exploitation and development tendency. unfortunately, the paper is in french and hasn't been translated to english. this is what babelfish translated it as saying. -- begin translation -- "Thanks to our testing, we give an account hereafter of the characteristics of each software according to following criteria's: * functional richness: adequacy of meeting the noted needs, ease of implementation and documentation support. * exploitation: the software is all the more suited to the use in production which the number of stars is high, less than three stars reveals the still immature character of a software in addition full with promises; * tendency: indicate if the diffusion in the professional environments progresses, remains stable, or regresses; * observation: total comment. -- any french speaking ganglia developers feel free to correct this -- well, from 1-4 stars... in functional richness we got 3, in exploitation (stability and production quality) we got 4, and in tendency they rated us as "progressing" meaning are stuff keeps getting better and better. i think we could get the 3 stars up to 4 if we work on the documentation. it is sorely out of date. we need to walk through the mailing list archives and move the information into the docs. there are months of great info that need to be organized. i have something else cool to show you all soon (i'll keep it a surprise for now)... -- matt
