Hi Everyone, Thanks for the warm welcome! I'm looking forward to working with all of you in the MacPorts community this summer.
My project is to develop a system for collecting and displaying information about how people are using MacPorts. The "How?" question is answered by collecting data from participating users concerning: - The ports they use (Active, Inactive, and roughly how often they're used (using a file's atime) - Their system configuration (eg Mac OS version, XCode version) When submitted, the data will be stored on a server and processed. The processing will consist of breaking down the raw data into interesting categories and generating useful visualisations. For example, it will be possible to generate a plot showing the number of users of each version of a port. Over time it would then also be possible to see how quickly users transition from one version to another. At the end of the summer MacPorts will have a system in place from which it'll be possible to ask the user base a question and get a useful answer in response.
