While download statistics might not be a good system, I do concur that MacPorts very much would benefit from having a "discovery" mechanism by which users find out about useful ports. Searching is nice, but it's not discovery. Some kind of "top ports" list (however implemented) would be useful, imho.
I do like the idea of opt-inable call-home reporting about which ports are installed. Even if a minority opts-in, it would be useful. Ubuntu does a similar thing IIRC. For non-end-users, it would also inform port maintainers about how many people depend on their work. Jean-François Begin forwarded message: > Re: Suggestion
