Fwd: [libreoffice-l10n] Number of locale users?

2014-10-14 Thread Leif Lodahl
Hi all,
Wouldn't the most obvious thing be to add a Piwik server to our web
infrastructure and start picking up some detailed statistics about both
downloads but also user behaviour in general?

From my point of view that would be the most simple solution.


Cheers,
Leif Lodahl

 Hi Christian,

 If I understood you correctly, you already have all data, you just didn't
 setup infrastructure to collect them (IP geolocation and UI locale from
 header).
 When/If  you ever decide to collect that data, I don't think real user
 number can diviate much from that.
 Default setup are weekly pings. My guess is that very few people change
 that, it cannot be more then 1-2%.
 If you calculate your data on weekly (monday to sunday) basis, after few
 months of collecting data, you should know inside few % of statistical
 error what is your user count.

 Only big difference in numbers can be with large deployments behind
 firewall (government?), which will block all ping update requests.

 Anyway, do I need to suggest this somewhere or open an bug?

 Best regards,
 Mihovil

 Hi *,
 ...

 i.e. it would be possible to create in future reports for
 * geolocation
 * UI-locale from request-header

 but not
 * list of actually installed locales
 for that the BundledLanguages parameter would need to change or
 additional one would have to be introduced.

 ciao
 Christian

We have decided to avoid releasing download figures, and use update
figures instead (which need some number crunching by developers: last
figure was 80 million if unique IPs pinging for updates, but goes back
to late spring). Download figures are not representative of the level of
adoption, and in addition are extremely easy to tweak.

SourceForge, for instance, is advertising based, which makes it tempting
to raise download numbers in order to ask for higher rates. The fact
that most projects hosted on SourceForge sport above average download
figures - for what is worth - raise a question mark

Back at OOo, download figures proved to be wildly inaccurate.

Hi :)
80 million sounds pretty good.  I tend to try to stop most machines from
updating unattended for most things and anyway most probably appear to come
from a single ip address.  Also i might download an update in one place and
then use it on many different machines in several different places as not
all have internet access.

I suspect it's similar for many other people too.  So i suspect the 80
million figure is a nice safe low estimate.  That makes it easier to quote
without qualms :))

I also think it safely avoids counting people who really want to remain
anonymous and probably avoids causing any undue issues wrt privacy for the
rest of us too.
Regards from
Tom :)
