Enhance bouncer, count Linux distributions with OOo also

[dudson]

On the download statistics page.
It's really nice to see the number of downloads of OOo.
Reminds me of vlc, which has a nice number of downloads counter.

And I was thinking, to see how much OOo has been downloaded.
There should be the number of downloads of the Linux distributions delivering it.

It's possible, it's necessary to coorporate with the Linux distributions to
get some project to share some statistics about downloads.

Those statistics can then also added to a "OOo shipped with a Linux distribution"-chart at the download statistics page.
With a nice pie chart that lists the distributions and compares them.
It would greatly enhance the download statistics page and information about the use of OOo in general.

Thanks for the suggestion! You're always welcome to make suggestions and discuss them here, but all we really do is OOo user support. If you want anyone with decision making ability to see your suggestion, it should go to one of the official mailing lists. I'll guess that maybe marketing would be the right place for improving the stats: http://marketing.openoffice.org

Have you seen the Forum Survival Guide?

It would be nice to have better stats, but even if every Linux desktop was using OOo, would that change the overall picture?
