Usage statistics for other apps than Firefox

[Rimas Kudelis]

Hi,

would it be possible to set up metrics reports for other applications
than Firefox? They don't have to be weekly, but it would be nice to have
some app usage statistics in particular locale. For example, right now I
have no idea how many people use SeaMonkey, Lightning and even
Thunderbird in Lithuanian. Having such statistics would help me
prioritize work.

Regards,
Rimas

For Lightning you can see the overall usage at

SeaMonkey is (almost) always guaranteed to be less users than TB and
Firefox...

But lets see... I don't have an easy way at present to get an
aggregation of this date, but as a *snapshot*, yesterday across all
SeaMonkey Versions (without crosschecking that it is infact an official
locale we ship):

Locale -- Unique Users
ALL -- 140,933
en-US -- 68,339
de -- 29,598
ru -- 13,386
pl -- 6,605
fr -- 3,850
en-GB -- 3,599
it -- 2,806
cs -- 2,287
ja -- 1,719
hu -- 1,621
es-ES -- 1,537
others -- <1,000

And fwiw, this data can certainly be skewed down a bit, but its still %
wise still relatively normal usage.

to be clear that is <1000 each not as a whole.

So, my locale is not in that list.

Anyway, I'd like to assume that with Firefox metrics already set up,
setting up the same thing for other applications is just a matter of
copy-paste-minorEdit. Isn't it?

Thanks for this one!

Yea it means that your locale has <1000 (daily) users in that snapshot I
grabbed.

As far as "matter of copy-paste-minorEdit" I really don't know, I
accessed a LDAP-Restricted Metrics website, did a manual query and
copy/pasted manually for each entry. I don't know of a better way for
SeaMonkey at this time.

I asked Messaging people for TB stats some time ago, but got no
answer.

I know that this was planned when I was still in charge of TB l10n
and Seth was still the Mozilla l10n lead. Perhaps it is a good idea
to directly email Seth's successor to get the ball rolling.

I'm seth's replacement (if such a thing is possible ;-)

Does anyone know if a metrics bug is on file for this. Probably makes
sense to add these numbers (where available) to the weekly metrics reports.

I doubt there is such a bug. deinspanjer or Pedro would know.

My preference would be to have separate reports for separate apps
instead of folding in metrics for all apps into one report.

The reason that I suggested a single report is for helping to sort out
localizers to sort out and set priorities. Multiple reports makes that
task harder.

Are there other reasons for the reports?

You mean for wanting them product-by-product for a locale? Yes, it
allows you to judge if you need to push a particular product. If you
knew that, say, 20,000 people use Fx in your locale but only 23 use Tb,
then that raises questions over why that is, what you can do about it
and if there's any point in continuing Tb for your locale. At the
moment, we only know the figure for Fx but we have little idea about the
other products - and I suspect the figures aren't necessarily what we
think.

For example, I discovered that about 4 times as many people use the Fx
spellchecker for Gaelic compared to people who use the browser in Gaelic
which was very unexpected. I've since figured why but I would have never
guessed without the figures. Data is always good.

They could be useful for figuring out trends (e.g. how adoption of a
localized application grows/shrinks with new versions.

I personally don't care whether I'd get the report for all apps at once
or separately – I work on all of them myself now. But expectations might
differ for bigger teams where different people work on different apps.

I think Chris was asking if there are reasons to have tb be in one mail
and fx in another, instead of composing one report that includes all the
apps.

Ah sorry, my bad, I was skim-reading :)

Well, at the moment I get a two-page pdf. I wouldn't mind if that was
several pages longer, including Tb and whatever else my locale has.

Hi,

replying to my own old topic, I've filed a bug to hopefully get this
rolling: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=878473
