Sounds like a victory to me.
I just have to agree with that... redefine the vote rule to be scientifically correct it should be impact = votes/user-base this gives a similar value like the impact factor of scientific journals (published papers / overall citation of papers) which more clearly depict the importance of the journal to its particular field. I guess with that org-mode might be the winner :) Even if we just use the number of downloads I would say the number of downloads for org-mode is at least two to three magnitudes smaller then PortableApps which makes org-mode (8.7e-4) has a 22.5 times higher impact then PortableApps (3.88e-5). By the way is the number of org-mode users known somehow (and how to estimate it in future bundled with emacs23) ? Would be interesting to see how much people use org-mode Nevertheless, even without this it was amazing to see that org-mode made it so far. Bye Totti CC. Maybe someone should suggest this new rule set to sourceforge... and then lets see how 2010 is going on :) _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
