Do we have any metrics on the number of visits we get on the
pharo.orgwebsite, which parts are the most visited, etc?
Yes, we have Google Analytics installed��� but I did not look at it for a long time.
It is no that spectacular��� 200-300 users per day.
But there is not much reason to visit it often, so a large part of that are real new visitors.
The same regarding web downloads, and so on. I understand that CI can
distort download count if using only access logs, but certainly if we
count a download through the webpage as a "conversion" (and track it
somehow) we would have a better idea how big this is becoming.
So for today: 17.98 GB transfer until now (not even half day), so around 25 to 30GB per day.
But CI is really a lot��� it is not only the CI of Pharo itself, but others, too.
E.g. just the ZWEIDENKER Jenkins builds quite often���
Tracking the real downloads would be a better way, yes.
What I would like to have is a way to count ���currently running images���.
But I guess adding that by default (like all mobile apps now do) would not
be wanted.. but one could add some config option.
I want that for the Zweidenker pharo images: right now it is easy to count by counting the
processes on the virtual beta-swarm and doubling (for production). But soon production
will scale up and beta down *and* there will be a alpha swarm���
But back to your point and as a bystander these days, it is very hard
to be aware of everything that's going on in the Pharo world, and not
because of the associated noise, because there is actually a lot of
things going on. :)
