I so much love statistics but sometimes, you can't get all what you want/wish. > About the only data available is the number of downloads for packages on > the gnome3-team ppa's (since they are not fragmented by mirrors) > however I suspect only a small portion of our users use the PPa's. > Otherwise its really left to completely useless metrics like distrowatch and > numbers of social media followers > Attached is a screenshot from Ubuntu GNOME Facebook Page. Please note, this is JUST what Facebook is showing and it is NOT 100% accurate and it will NOT give you any real data of our users at all. However, it is a good way to understand at least where our users are coming from :) Number of downloads will never ever tell anyone anything useful. I am one user who could download the same ISO 100 times per month/year, not to mention different versions. Even the data on Distrowatch is just for fun: http://distrowatch.com/dwres.php?resource=popularity But then again, it is good to take a look and get some estimate data :) Oh, our Google+ page has more viewers than some other flavours but yes, that means nothing accurate, just a figure to give an estimate idea of how active/popular that channel is :) > > > > Sent from ProtonMail <https://protonmail.ch>, encrypted email based in > Switzerland. > > > > > > > -- > Ubuntu-GNOME mailing list > [email protected] > Modify settings or unsubscribe at: > https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-gnome > -- Best Regards, Ali/amjjawad <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/amjjawad> *Remember: *"All of us are smarter than any one of us."
