It appears that the statistics on SourceForge have been fixed. Wickets
statistics look VERY impressive...
I found it pretty amazing that we've accumulated 4000 downloads so far.
We didn't do too much on publicity: no articles, no books, no Tapestry
is evil use Wicket campaign. We did the 4000 downloads by ourselves.
Half of the downloads come from the last 2 months, so that is also telling.
I think we owe a lot to Tim Boudreau, who generated a lot of hits at the
beginning of april.
Personally, when evaluating a tool, I tend to put a lot of weight on
those numbers to determine whether or not a project is thriving or not.
The activity percentage don't do it for me. Almost all projects that are
somewhat active are in the 95%+ percentage. That doesn't tell me much. I
tend to look at the CVS records: when was the last update for the
project, how much activity is on the forum and/or mailinglist and
whether the last release was relatively recent (which reminds me to work
on jwebunit sometime soon).
As the statistics are just brought online, I suspect they still have to
fix some bugs, so I wouldn't trust the figures too much...
