Heeeeyyy - someone posted us to Hacker News :)

I noticed a spike in traffic to guacamole.incubator.apache.org this morning
(an order of magnitude higher than the normal amount of traffic at this
time of day). Checking the referrals revealed:

So, I'll use this as an opportunity to bring back up the discussion about
the use of Twitter/Facebook/etc. accounts for Guacamole.  You kicked off a
discussion thread about those a while back - I still vote for resurrecting
those accounts and trying to make better use of them to gain some better
publicity for the project, maybe get some more people involved in
contributing??  Any further discussion on that front??

Thanks!

Also, don't worry - "butting in" isn't really a possibility here. Community
participation on the mailing lists is exactly what we want. At worst, if
you had posted something like "Cool! I have a related problem. Guacamole is
not working.", you'd be asked to open a new thread.

Sorry to butt in, the idea of having stats translate to is so cool. It
looks awesome too.!!

Ah, yes, perhaps. ;)

I was looking the real-time "active users" stats, largely because I have a
glowing color-changing lamp in my office for which I've written a service
which polls this statistic, automatically changing the hue and brightness
with respect to the current value.

It's currently bright magenta. Normally, it's a sort of dim salmon /
mediumly-bright orange.

I was looking the real-time "active users" stats, largely because I have a
glowing color-changing lamp in my office for which I've written a service
which polls this statistic, automatically changing the hue and brightness
with respect to the current value.

It's currently bright magenta. Normally, it's a sort of dim salmon /
mediumly-bright orange.

Also, I think you may have undersold "spike in traffic" a little bit.
Depending on how you look at the stats and where you're comparing it to,
it's anywhere from a few hundred percent increase to 25,000%.
