A report would serve the same purpose, and posted with regular intervals
(like 1 month), with figures based on e.g. last month, last half year.


OK.  I posted a snapshot of the downloads since AOO 3.4.0 was released
back in May:

http://www.openoffice.org/stats/countries.html


Great.

Is also possible to have a row with hte total sum on the top of the table?
Then we would have a (more or less) up-to-date number in a prominent place.


I could certainly add a total there, but this page will probably be
updated less frequently than this one:

http://www.openoffice.org/stats/downloads.html

Of course, we could try to get into a regular update schedule where we
update both pages  on the same schedule...

All good! and thanks for making a new stats main page!

http://www.openoffice.org/stats/

so, I will go ahead and add this to /download/index.html as promised, AND, I do think some appropriate wording on

http://www.openoffice.org/why/

would be a good idea as well...



One option would be to repeat this in 3 months or whatever, and add a
new column and % difference for each country.


Sounds good.

+1, fine page. Monthly should be enough.

Would it be worth to consider to include the country discussion (e.g.

list

top 5 countries, and the total number) ?


I'll take a look to see if there is anything interesting here.  But my
guess is the top 5 countries will be static over time, and would not
be an interesting chart or a time series.  But maybe we could
periodically post a table of these numbers?   I have a pythons script
that gathers these numbers and generates a CSV report.  It would be
easy to have it write out an HTML page instead.

I've moved the download stats to its own page:
http://www.openoffice.org/stats/downloads.html

That allowed me to give a fuller description of what the stats are,
how they were gathered, etc.  I think we should aim for this level of
detail and transparency in any claims we make.

This move then allowed me to clean up the Stats home page a little,
and include links to other charts we have, as well as add a section
(with caveats) on 3rd party stats:   http://www.openoffice.org/stats/

If anyone has ideas for other relevant stats that might be interested,
I'd be interested in adding more.  I can help on the data wrangling
and charting side.    I'd love to have a regular chart on wiki and
forums traffic or edits or posts or whatever.  This doesn't need to be
totally automated.  For example, it could be something where someone
volunteers to run a monthly report and posts that new stat once a
month.
