30 million downloads, year end blog post
Just noticed that we hit the 30 million download mark for AOO 3.4 on
December 22nd.
That is a nice, round number. Maybe we should do a year end blog
post, summarizing our achievements in 2012?
Any ideas for content?
3.4.0 and 3.4.1 releases, graduation, ApacheCon EU.
Anything else we could highlight?

Currently the mwiki upgrade is purely a technical upgrade (1.20.2), I hope
the sysops and myself get the content a bit in shape, so it is easier to
search (e.g. mark outdated as outdated, so it comes last in search), with
that done it is something to mention.

Yes, especially L10N is growing impressively: volunteers have contacted
us to translate OpenOffice in 28 additional languages; of course, only a
handful of teams will be able to finish in time for next week's
deadline, while the others will focus on the 4.0 translation. For the
current status, see
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/AOO+3.4.1+Respin+for+additional+languages
About including FOSDEM: I think it will be enough to mention the first
two events in 2013 (FOSDEM and ApacheCon NA); we will probably write
separate blog posts for more details about each event.
The Mwiki upgrade is probably worth a mention too.
And a "donations" link to
http://www.apache.org/foundation/contributing.html would be appropriate
too...
Regards,
Andrea.

I think highlighting what's included in the upcoming 4.0 release might
be good. Or, we might hold up on this and do it in concert with the
survey summary (an upcoming blog?)
Given our continued popularity, I think it would be great to blog about
some of the "community" improvements -- new committers, new orientation
modules, revamping of documentation project, rebirth of L10,
improvements in bug tracking, QA, marketing campaign, etc.
Yes, we have a great product, but maybe it's time to highlight this
incredible community! :)

Hmmm... I just checked. We've been getting nothing starting December
25th. I don't see the GA tracking code in the wiki pages anymore.
But before that we were seeing 26-28K daily unique paqe views on the wiki.

Maybe look at wiki from google analytics, there has been a heavy load of
users searching for documentation.
I (for one) would like to know how many hits we have had.

and we have much more via additional download sources.
For example when you check Chip online (thanks to Oliver) you can see an
overall download of >18 million OpenOffice downloads and for the last
year we have 4 million.
See:
Overall:
- Windows, German: http://www.chip.de/downloads/OpenOffice_13004346.html
>>> 18 million downloads, interesting are the review count of 51.615,
97% positive
- Linux, German:

- MacOS X, German:

2012:
-
http://www.chip.de/bildergalerie/Top-100-Downloads-des-Jahres-Galerie_53514176.html
Place 92 >>> 3.985.792 downloads, means mainly 3.4/3.4.1
CNet, Amazon and others offers OpenOffice downloads as well

Actually we missed to compute download logs from Dec 23, 24 and Jan 2.
We've worked out a plan for reconstituting them all and we did it as of
yesterday. If you could kindly recompute your graphs you'll see a bit more
downloads for 2012.
Sorry for the inconvenience it might have caused to you.

Thanks. And I've updated the charts now:

The final count for 2012 was: 30,687,795 downloads.
I predict we will more than double this in 2013, due to:
1) Being able to count downloads for the full year. (AOO 3.4 was not
available until May in 2012 and I did not include OOo 3.3.0 download
in the counts.)
2) Greater language coverage, starting very soon with the release of
more 3.4.1 languages, and even more with 4.0.
3) Exciting new features in AOO 4.0

Mention the proposed release of AOO 4.0, (new features?) with a conservative date, so that if released beforehand it is good news. Active work on rebranding for that release.

If you goto wiki.opensource.org, and edit page source, you should see the

Sorry for mssing that feature,
Can you please check during the next couple of days that it works again.

I'd suggest adding some content about the really large surge of contributors to the project, especially those coming to the Marketing effort, but not only. The accomplishments of making the application are surely and naturally newsworthy, but as an open source project, we are also a community of participants.
And, further, as participants, we are establishing an ecosystem of those who would offer—now or later—support and other services to the users of AOO.

I agree to that...just one point, if we publish number of committers, we
should really talk about active committers...having many committors makes
people expect we can do a lot, I suspect (maybe wrong) that the high number
is somewhat historical.

Along this line, here what we plan to deliver for Extensions and
Templates sites by the end of February:
1) Platform and Content Migration to Drupal 7. The two sites, now on
Drupal 5 (unsupported) and Drupal 6, will be brought to the same
platform. Common code will work on both sites without need to be
adapted. This will bring improvements in performance, user experience
and multilingual support. All users, passwords (if applicable) and
content will be preserved during conversion.
2) Technical improvements. Automatic management of updates will be
available on Extensions, to enable update notifications in OpenOffice.
The site will export RSS feeds with new content.
During the process we'll keep providing users support, including
possible support to users who need to understand configuration
changes.
Also by the end of April we plan to work on the following items.
3) Search improvements. Search will be switched to an Apache Solr
backend; this allows much faster search, autocomplete of search terms,
"Did you mean" suggestions and "Saved searches" for each registered
user.
4) Web 2.0 services. The sites will support RSS feeds to export
specific searches (latest dictionaries, templates matching
"curriculum") to other sites. New content will automatically be posted
on dedicated Twitter channels. It will be possible to share on
Facebook/Twitter each extension/template and to rate the content with
the familiar 5-star widget.
5) Branding possibilities, replicated repositories. The sites can
display different content and branding if called with different domain
names (e.g., show only open source extensions when called as
open.extensions.openoffice.org). The sites can also be easily
replicated and reinstalled with full functionality (e.g., for a
company-wide internal repository of extensions or templates).
Let me know if you need more information.

A nice timeline of achievements is always good, plus a simple line chart
showing community growth and vitality.
And, most important, forward looking content describing our goals for 2013.
I can help with this if you like. Will be back online later this afternoon.
