Hello, all. I was just asked in #ubuntu-manual how many printed copies of the manual have been sold. So I thought I'd post a few statistics.
Number of printed copies of the manual sold: 93 Number of copies of the manual downloaded from lulu.com: 282 Number of copies of the on-screen version downloaded from ubuntu-manual.org: 101,232 Number of copies of the print-ready version downloaded from ubuntu-manual.org: 6,214 The manual has also be mirrored and uploaded at a number of other sites. Unfortunately, I can't account for those downloads. When you visit our site with a non-English web browser and try to download the manual, you'll be given the opportunity to subscribe to an email notification when we release your language. Here's a listing of the number of subscribers for each language. Note that some languages appear in the list multiple times under different spellings. We changed the language names midway through, I think. (Apologies for the lousy table formatting; I'm feeling lazy tonight and just pasted what MySQL returned.) +---------------+--------------------+ | subscriptions | language | +---------------+--------------------+ | 1355 | español | | 430 | Русский | | 348 | português | | 334 | deutsch | | 331 | vietnamese | | 224 | spanish | | 167 | swedish | | 140 | russian | | 138 | polski | | 112 | français | | 82 | italiano | | 79 | العربية | | 56 | persian | | 51 | 简体中文 | | 40 | Ελληνικά | | 29 | portuguese | | 26 | turkish | | 21 | catalan | | 20 | italian | | 17 | chinese simplified | | 16 | română | | 14 | polish | | 14 | Česky | | 13 | galego | | 13 | french | | 12 | serbian | | 11 | বাংলা | | 9 | finnish | | 7 | lietuvių | | 6 | magyar | | 5 | 中文 (繁体字) | | 5 | malay | | 5 | bulgarian | | 4 | english | | 4 | | | 4 | english australia | | 4 | 繁体中文 | | 3 | galician | | 3 | telugu | | 3 | czech | | 2 | english uk | | 2 | arabic | | 2 | bengali | | 1 | lithuanian | | 1 | 繁體中文 | +---------------+--------------------+ Our website averages about 1,000 visits a day with each visit consisting of an average of 2 page views.
