Search:

Searches on Sage's search box: latex 55, notebook 24, solve 18,
lattice 11, sagetex 11, statistics 10, ... but that's not really
useful, there were 1,849 searches in total.

Searches that brought visitors to www.sagemath.org excluding those who
were searching for "sage" explicitly.
1. open source mathematica 186 4.30%
2. mathematics software 166 3.84%
3. osx64 120 2.78%
4. free math software 103 2.38%

8. open source maple 70 1.62%
9. maple open source 63 1.46%
10. maths software 55 1.27%


Conclusion: Even more activity and more downloads, fall/winter is more
active due to activities on universities. Cities like Graz (in
southern Austria, hello to willfried huss!) are now nearly equally
active than Seattle (where all started), Ubuntu is our most important
target for builds, after windows and

compared with the same time range in last year 2008:
+72% visits
+40% pageviews

No problem, stats were long overdue ... if there are any specific
questions about a country, some additional numbers or data like "which
IE browser is used most often?" ... just ask me ;)

One thing I didn't look into are referrals. These are pages that bring
visits to us. They are mostly pages like reddit, then there are many
private tech- & math-blogs and software listings.

David Kirkby and I surf to sagemath.org a lot it seems :) With so many visits
I wonder if we should do a Sage User Group meeting or something here.

Well I do not live in London, but in Essex, though it is not that far from
London. I guess I am around 50 miles from the centre of London.
I have a fixed IP address from home, where I am now, so I should be easy to
track. Though other times I access the mailing lists from other locations, such
as rail stations or my Dads house.

To be honest, I do not browse the Sage web site that much. I use wget to
download source tarballs. So it might not be me.

I am not sure how accurate these stats based on IP addresses are. I used to run
a web site about a local commuter rail line I used to get to work. To limit
spammers from leaving messages, I blocked IP's outside the UK, believing nobody
would be interested in the local problems on a small branch line. That soon
backfired, as one of the regular contributors to the forums worked for a US bank
in London. His IP address appeared to come from the USA.

Then you don't count, even not for the downloads :)
It's more interesting to see those numbers relative to each other and
to compare them with the past. A user group meeting might be
interesting, if you want I can put a link on the main sagemath.org
website for advertising. I hope those high London numbers foster many
developers in the near future!
