Hello, I was wondering about how many users / downloads does JMeter have and I couldn't find such information except indirectly via the usage statistics from http://www.jmeter-plugins.org/stats/
Just yesterday we were discussing about MongoDB support which is deprecated since it's not used very much but usage is measured indirectly from support questions. Are there any other sources of such info? I believe it would be healthy for JMeter to actively measure such usage info in order to better decide the future. A while back NetBeans measured anonymously various metrics in order to prioritise work. Information such as this http://statistics.netbeans.org/analytics/graph/projecttypes.jsp and this http://statistics.netbeans.org/analytics/graph/databaseservers.jsp and this http://statistics.netbeans.org/analytics/graph/technologies.jsp help determine which plugin deserves extra attention and which is heading towards deprecation. So, we should think about how we could implement something like this while respecting the Apache rules surrounding user data. --emi
