None of the PredictProtein packages, maybe... :) The wording of the package's description leaves some room for optimisation. > Would data from the normal popularity-contest package be enough for your > usage statistics? Upstream (the group Laszlo works in) thinks "no". I am sponsoring the package since there is no hidden activity, and the contribution to the statistics is completely voluntary, even the reminder can be switched off with a mere "touch". This sounds fair enough to me. I appreciated the separation of that counting facility into its own package and anticipate its development into a PP-independent library.
