> Thanks :) We now have 1418 entries.
while the page showed that amount a while ago (after upload it shows 1 more). So, it looks like script displays count before adding new data.

BTW. WP fails with polish utf-8 chars:
> WordPress database error: [Illegal mix of collations (latin1_swedish_ci,IMPLICIT) and (utf8_general_ci,COERCIBLE) for operation '=']

Maybe over 1100 lists? So…

He has collected alot of stats. A combination of your two project would be more powerfull for both sides.

It really provides good stats than can be used to make important decisions.

It would be great if that way devs can see what are the most common packages users install that are not in portage and add em ;)

Please also record USE flags, I think this is important to know too.

True of course, I don’t have any long term plans right now though. I just got tired of having it be a wish list item of mine, and slapped it together. I’m impressed it actually went so quickly. We can always build on it later, but for now I’d just like to gauge user activity — if people actually participate, then it’ll be worth expanding. If not, oh well. Nothing venture, nothing gained. :)
