Re: BSDstats website displaying data incorrectly
Just to elaborate on the issue ... it looks like both of those pages are using different QUERIES to the database ... in the former, it is using a system view that I was able to update after we fixed the issue with country reporting, such that it doesn't show records older then that date ... the latter page is pulling the data via a different method (which Bobby is looking into) so that its actually pulling in older date (ie. a two months average vs just the past 10 days or so) ... Both are accurate, just different time periods ...

BSDstats website displaying data incorrectly
Why does this page show PCBSD has count of 387 http://www.bsdstats.org/bt/home.html?os= And this page shows PCBSD has count of 1307 http://www.bsdstats.org/bt/home.html?os=PC-BSD Why is this? I would think both should show the same value, or you better add explanation to the web page why the count is different. And that little selection box on the home page should have some explanation of its function. Just sticking it there on the right side of the page above the titles hoping someone will fall into it is not user friendly. What is going on with the release stats? What are you showing there? Is that just for Freebsd? If so then the count is incorrect. This should be showing the count for each release under each operating system. IE. what release are in use for freebsd, netbsd, openbsd ect. Website also needs explanation of the time frame being reported. Are the values shows as of the the first day of the current month? In general the website does not explain much of anything about what is being shown. Put a lot more text describing the overall process and the reporting cycle. Also think some kind of operating system monthly growth chart over time is needed. Say going back 3 years to current. The current website is way to passive in the way things are worded. Try to inspire people to show their loyalty, allegiance, and devotion by running the bsdstats client to anonymously report their usage to the benefit of everyone. Developers donate large amounts of their personal free time working on the operating systems, the least the users can do is fulfill their obligation to demonstrate their gratitude to the developers by running bsdstats. Emphasize the reporting is anonymously. Website needs to promote it self more. Get on the home page of all the different BSD systems. Try to become a default part of the BSD systems basic release. Like PCbsd does. Not option to go get it and turn it on, but all ready there with option to turn off if desired. This is only self promotion of the individual operating systems and should be something they should be interested in doing. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

I would think both should show the same value, or you better add explanation to the web page why the count is different. As was explained earlier, normal operation looks at the past couple of months, to deal with cases, where, for instance, someone has it set to only report on reboot, but not monthly ... due to the countries issue that you pointed out, I made a slight change while things restabilize so that it is only showing this month's stats ... I will expand it again as the old data for countries fades away ... The descrepancy above is due to the sub-OS pages not using the same DB query as the upper one, and as I didn't do the web front end, and the person who did is no longer around, I have to figure out *how* the code he wrote works, especially for those sub pages (template system, as there is no /bt/ file system *on* the server ... As to the rest ... especially the comments about the web site itself ... feel like stepping into the breach on that one? I have no creative talent for doing a web page, which is why I recruited someone way back when ... Marc G.
