Thanks for this idea, Cris. Would this be only to see how many people are using LyX or for something in addition to that? Every time I think about something like that, I challenge myself and ask: "Why do I want to know how many people use LyX?" and my answer is always just that I would be curious. Since I don't think it would lead to any improvement in LyX, my train of thought stops there. In any case, let's pleas not discuss this further on this thread. If you want to start a new thread with the focus of Google Analytics (or other), I'd be interested in following it. Thanks, Scott
