Hi, The statistics for libmesh on sourceforge go back to January of 2003 or so, so we now have about 8 years worth!
My comments: .) The mailing list traffic is the statistic I feel is probably least influenced by web spidering, spam, and robots, but it's also impossible to tell how many active libmesh users the number of messages/month actually implies. Subscription counts are 89 for libmesh-devel, 170 for libmesh-users. .) I'm not sure if spiders requesting pages with SF logos are counted in the second plot. The trend of increasing SF logos served may therefore actually indicate a trend of more google bots roaming the web rather than a trend of more people viewing our documentation. .) Finally, the downloads. You can see the trailing average trending steadily upward, but I really don't know where these downloads are coming from... especially considering the sporadic nature of our version releases. I've always assumed most people pull the source from SVN or install through debian. Are robots downloading libmesh (google cache)? Anyway, take it for what it's worth. -- John
