#332: Show package download statistics --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Reporter: fons | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: hackageDB website | Version: 1.2.3.0 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: normal | Ghcversion: 6.8.2 Platform: | --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- It would be really interesting to show statistics about the number of times a package has been downloaded. That measure can help both: * Users: it shows what packages are likely to be more widely-tested and popular. It can also help them to chose between packages with similar functionality. * Developers: it shows how popular his/her packages are. It would be specially interesting to take package versions in account (overall package download/downloads of an specific version) -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/332 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
