This doesn't count people who (like me :-) keep themselves up to date by doing refreshes of the CVS source repository -- there's not a good way to count those -- but I expect that this number is pretty small. 1.0.2: 15,780 1.1-b1: 763 1.1-b2: 9,695 Nightlies: 2,961 ------ Total: 29,199 ====== or around 940 per day. That's second biggest among Jakarta projects (trailing Tomcat, which typically gets 80k-100k downloads per month, but I didn't check October specifically). While it's obvious that there are a lot of folks in the "stick with the latest release" camp, it's quite gratifying to see that the 1.1 downloads (counting the nightlies) are around 45% of the total. I would expect a pretty good sized spike once we release the final version of 1.1. The counts above reflect only the main Apache website -- they don't count any downloads from Apache mirrors, or from other sites that support download of the Struts binaries (either by themselves or incorporated in other tools). The Apache Software License is wonderful for developers, but terrible for statisticians ... The subscription counts to the corresponding user mailing lists (counting digest subscribers), as of November 14, is even closer: STRUTS-USER: 2,399 TOMCAT-USER: 2,454 We've been steadily gaining on Tomcat ever since Struts started a couple of years ago ... we're very close to having the largest subscriber count on any Jakarta mailing list :-). Thank you all for your support, and use, of Struts!!! Craig -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: For additional commands, e-mail:
