Hello, I thought it might interest you to see some website statistics of 2010:
Visits: 1,030,456 ... +32% from last year. Best month November, with nearly 100,000 visits. Unique Visitors (this is the number from above minus the ones who come back) 607,882 ... +34 % from last year. So, more than half a million only came by for once, nearly 120,000 2 times, ... and those are interesting: ~31,000 for 26-50 times ~21,000 for 51-100 times ~14,500 for 101-200 times ~30,000 for more than 200 times Notice, the number for 201+ is again higher! So, somebody might argue that the sum of those who visit the site 25 or more times is the regular user-base of Sage. Let's say it's 100,000 and have a party ;) (I have no idea how big the errors are, but sounds reasonable) Browsers, interesting for the notebook development: 1. Firefox: 50% (lost 7 points) 2. Chrome: 16% (more than 3 times from last year!) 3. Safari: 14% 4. Internet Explorer: 13% IE detail: 4.1 IE 8: 63% 4.2 IE 7: 23% 4.3 IE 6: 13% 5. Opera: 3.5% (lost .5 points) Operating Systems: 1. Windows 47 % (lost .5 points) 2. Linux 31% (flat) 3. Macintosh: 20% (iphone and all the others well below 1%) Location (from where does the traffic come from?) 1. Europe (with Russia): 43 % 2.

Virginia: 3.1 % 9. Maryland: 3 % 10. Florida: 2.6% Somebody with more geographical knowledge might map this to famous universities? Here the top cities for the USA: 1. Seattle: 3.1% 2. New York 2.4% 3. San Francisco 1.5% 4. Berkeley: 1.5% 5. Los Angeles: 1.2% followed by Portland, Chicago, Austin, Cambridge, Minneapolis.

Moscow: 0.84% followed by New York, Zurich, Munich, Barcelona and Sydney. (i.e. Barcelona is "better" than Berkeley or Los Angeles) And here something about the traffic sources: 1. Google: 33% 2. directly entered URL: 22% 3. all the others from links. Referring sites (I excluded the notebook, sagemath.org itself and other trivial ones like the mirrors, and those that brought less than 1000 visits): en.wikipedia.org osalt.com vnoel.wordpress.com ubuntuforums.org macupdate.com stumbleupon.com kk.org facebook.com de.wikipedia.org morlok.net (that's the very old one here: http://www.morlok.net/ryan/2006/11/01/open-source-matlab-alternatives/ ) isoftwarereviews.com linux.org.ru maxima.sourceforge.net stackoverflow.com ja.wikipedia.org reddit.com edu.kde.org scipy.org framasoft.net - http://www.framasoft.net/article4954.html wiki.cython.org heise.de Keywords entered into google, filtering out "sage", top one got 2000 visits, then exponentially down to 170 visits. open source mathematica free math software mathematics software math software mathematica open source osx64 open source math software open source maple maths software maple open source open source math free mathematics software free maths software mathematica alternative mathematical software maple software substitute math software free free mathematical software math help irc free mathematica alternative open source mathematica alternative open source matlab mathematica open source alternative free mathematica mathematica free ...
