Feedburner statistics. But I was wrong, it's not that many. That numbers includes also Planet Ubuntu and any RSS reader (it's the number I gave in [1]). I looked it up and my post popular article has been "viewed" 13000 times through http://planet.debian.org or http://planet.debian.net so this is without people following Planet via RSS. But a given article might be viewed multiple times by the same person given that everything is on the same webpage on planet.debian.org and that you load the pages regularly if you follow it from the web. But it's still a number which is largely superior to the number of developers.

Ok, you meant posts written in other languages are not allowed in the feed. It's not really comparable to a footer, but ok I understand what you meant.

Perhaps a little > too draconian? IMO, it's too draconian, indeed. Even if you restrict this to picture. Exactly the same problem exists with HTML mails and many mail-readers don't load pictures by default for this reason. While I can understand the privacy concerns, and while I support that Debian provides software that by default protect the privacy of users, I don't think that Debian needs to have an official policy on this topic as far as Planet Debian is concerned. When you're reading blogs or any web page, you know that you leave many traces and it's a choice of the user about how much to accept, by using or not the extensions that are meant to mitigate this problem. BTW, I would be happy if I could self-host a feedburner like service to gather my stats and avoid leaking that information to third parties. But AFAIK there's no free software doing this currently. And I don't want to write it myself. And I need this because I'm trying to be professional about my blogging activities and I need figures to see how my articles are doing and whether I'm on the right track or not.
