Hi folks,

For the forthcoming 6.4 release, we'd like to get a rough idea of download statistics, at least from haskell.org. Both Simon & I are too busy/lazy (delete as applicable) to do this ourselves, and we don't know the best tools to use (grep|wc on the access_log is a bit too crude - we want to exclude things like partial downloads except when the download was completed later, etc.). Of course, if we can get or estimate download statistics for other sources of GHC too, that would be great.

Any volunteers?

Why not ask GHC users to fill some web form with additional information, like how they use GHC, where they use it, for what, etc?

I can make a suitable web form in WASH, if you want.

That would be nice. There's no way I'm putting a web form in the way of the download link, but having it a separate "survey" on the site would perhaps be useful. Cheers, Simon
