[Qgis-psc] Downloads

[Tim Sutton]

Hi

I think access is more useful than downloads - if we can bring it back to the number of active users we have. For example the number of QGIS startups per day might tell us how many people are using QGIS each day. Averaged out across a year it would be a very interesting statistic. It will give a much more valid indication of the size of our user base than downloads which has many issues as a proxy for our user base - one download shared many times and many downloads which are never used mean that we dont really know what is going on. Add to that the version.txt is platform independent….I know platforms like twitter / facebook etc measure themselves in terms of daily active users too so we would not be out on a limb doing it this way.

Regards

Tim
