I think that the bigger the active community the greater a framework gets. Like Symphony for example that in a few years has grown so big now it has its own plugin repository (Composer) and dozens of user forums.
Regarding metrics, it could be a good thing to determine how BuiltWith and Wappalizer detect frameworks to create their usage trend graphs. Both have Chrome extensions that tell you the frameworks used in a certain web page but web2py is usually not detected (not even in my page where I have certainty it was built with web2py). This could help show the world a more accurate graph of web2py usage. Even on web2py's home site http://web2py.com/ Wappalizer detects Bootstrap but not web2py (here BuiltWith does). So the options I can come up with: 1. Increase GitHub followers ( As Massimo explained in this thread<https://groups.google.com/d/msg/web2py/3_DbrusmmF0/SQyb5pX-A2kJ> ) 2. Allow BuildWith to detect web2py ( http://trends.builtwith.com/framework/web2py ) 3. Allow Wappalizer to detect web2py ( http://wappalyzer.com/categories/web-frameworks ) 4. Google Trends ( http://www.google.it/trends/explore#q=CodeIgniter|Symfony|web2py|django<http://www.google.it/trends/explore#cat=0-5-31&q=CodeIgniter%2C%20%20Symfony%2C%20%20web2py%2C%20%20django&cmpt=q> ) 5. Creating more reviews/blog-posts about its features compared to other frameworks 6. Ask to be counted in benckmark tests ( like this one http://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/ ) 7. Create web2py conferences (like Drupal Camps, or Google GDG for example) 8. Start a user forum instead of just using Google Groups What else can be done?
