 While looking at the graph in http://www.openoffice.org/stats/downloads.html
 it was very difficult for me (besides small screen and poor eyesight) to
 see if the numbers were 6 million 60 million or 600 million, because of the
 tiny text and lots of zeros without separators for thousands and hundred
 thousands.


We're using a 3rd party library for the charts.  I don't see the
ability to control the number format, other than to enable or disable
rounding to the nearest integer.  But maybe someone else sees more
here:

http://www.simile-widgets.org/timeplot/

 ie 60,000,000 reads beter than 6000


I agree.  Maybe another solution is to rescale the data, so we report
in units of a million downloads.  So instead of 6000 we have 60.0?

Thanks for the reply Rob.

Glad to know I'm not the only one seeing that. I will file a request for
enhancement for that 3rd party lib on

http://code.google.com/p/simile-widgets/issues/list

Let's wait... maybe the feature will be implemented sooner rather than
later.
