Nice work. I'm interested in trends more than absolutes. Is there any
way you could track the number of citations to the R package? E.g.
http://scholar.google.co.uk/scholar?as_q=&as_epq=R%3A+A+Language+and+Environment+for+Statistical+Computing
except I think there are better citation indexes available (it has been
too long since I worked in academia but someone here will know what they
are).
I guess you won't get quite the same for the commercial tools, though
"SAS Institute" and similar searches will give some results.
Double points if your citation database has a classification of the
papers so we could see R usage trends in physics, biology, social
sciences, .... :-)

Hi All,
I've been fiddling around with various ways to estimate the popularity
of R, SAS, SPSS, Stata, JMP, Minitab, Statistica, Systat, BMDP, S-PLUS,
R-PLUS and Revolution R. It's not an easy task. You can see what I've
come up with so far at http://r4stats.com/popularity . I'm sure people
will have plenty of ideas on how to improve this, so please let me know
what you think.
Cheers,
Bob
