Hi Sage Developers, With help from Martin Albrecht, I've been tracking the traffic to sagemath.org here:
http://sagemath.org/traffic.html Probably the most interesting graph is this one: http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details/sagemath.org?site0=sagemath.org&site1=www.maplesoft.com&site2=www.wolfram.com it compares Sagemath.org to Maplesoft.com up until Dec 17. Before the UW press release (inspired by Trophees du Libre ), sagemath.org traffic was insignificant when compared to Maple. On Dec 3 when the press release went out until Dec 11, there was a huge spike in traffic, so that sagemath.org went from being a speck to over twice the amount of traffic as Maple gets. NOTE -- this increase in traffic started two days before the slashdotting. On Dec 5 during the slashdotting, the number of downloads of sage itself went up a huge amount (thousands per day). This hump died down after about a week on December 11. However, the steady state for sagemath.org during the last week has been similar to and sometimes slightly hire than maplesoft.com. This suggests that the number of Sage users has gone up by quite a bit, and that a nontrivial fraction of the people who tried Sage a week ago are now Sage users. Traffic to sagemath.org has gone from "0" as measured by "Alexa" to comparable to Maple. Perhaps soon http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/1000 can be closed and replaced by a ticket to have 100,000 users?
