Why not the amount of Activity Stream events during the last month? It's
still very anonymous (since we don't know what exactly are these events)
and relevant.
+ the amount of pages view during the last month (a wiki could have a lot
of pages view meanwhile it is not edited often)
I think these 2 metrics could be good indicators.
Thanks,
Guillaume

Hi devs,
Right now, during the Active Installs ping we send a certain number of
information (
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Active+Installs+Client…
)
which allow us to have this dashboard:
http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/ActiveInstalls/
This allows us to have an idea of how XWiki’s usage is moving forward
(whether it’s growing, reducing or is stable). This also allows us to try
new changes in new XWiki versions and see how that affects the number of
active installs, thus validating or invalidating the changes.
Since XWiki is a Server software, I was thinking that the number of
instances around the world isn't really a good indicator of how much
XWiki
is used by users. Imagine an XWiki instance with
10K users. Right now
it’s
counted the same as an instance with 1 user. That
doesn’t seem quite
right
since the instance with 10K users shows a much
more important usage of
XWiki.
Thus I was thinking that we could add sending both the total number of
users (from all subwikis) + the number of wikis, for the current XWiki
instance.
While I agree with the fact that number of instance alone is not a good
indicator of XWiki’s usage, I also do not see the number of users so
significant, because you can have thousand of users that never login to the
wiki. More than just volume, what really shows the usage are activities.
A good indicator would be to report the number of distinct login during the
last 24 hours. Other interesting indicator would be the number of documents
(existing, changed, delta between creation/deletion), activity stream could
also be a source for measuring the level of activity of a wiki.
Btw, measuring the level of activity of a wiki is also a need for farm
administrators who needs to detect used and unused subwiki.
Since the data is anonymous and there’s no way to
link it to any
company/user, I don’t feel it would generate a privacy issue.
WDYT?
Thanks
-Vincent
