How can we know if we're doing a good / bad job or a better / worse job? With metrics! Well partially with metrics, here's some for the release today. Of the three main pages linked to or talked about here's how many hits each one got and where they came from. With this we can see where good outlets and bad outlets are. We did make the front page of /. which helps explain why our /wiki/Releases/9/Alpha/ReleaseNotes page got so many hits. I'll send this same information out in a few days to see how we did. We didn't make it to the front page of digg today, by contrast Ubuntu got front paged with 1685 for their alpha just 3 days ago. How do we drum up more interest? /get-prerelease - 2663 Referrer: 3 "http://www.press.redhat.com/2008/02/05/help-shape-fedora-9-alpha-release-now-available/" 4 "http://fedorasolved.org/" 4 "http://jkeating.livejournal.com/" 5 "http://fedoraproject.org/join-fedora" 8 "http://fedoraproject.org/en/get-fedora" 8 "http://fedoraproject.org/index.html" 9 "http://jkeating.livejournal.com/53507.html" 12 "http://digg.com/linux_unix/Fedora_9_Sulphur_Alpha_Released" 14 "http://www.google.com/reader/view/" 16 "http://forums.fedora-fr.org/viewtopic.php?id=29118" 18 "http://arstechnica.com/journals/linux.ars/2008/02/05/fedora-9-sulphur-alpha-released" 22 "http://forums.fedora-fr.org/viewtopic.php?pid=236388" 37 "http://fedoraproject.org/get-prerelease" 38 "http://fedoraproject.org/relnotes" 39 "http://fedoraproject.org/index" 59 "http://fedoraproject.org/get-fedora.html" 84 "http://planet.fedoraproject.org/" 534 "http://fedoraproject.org/" 711 "http://start.fedoraproject.org/" 739 "http://fedoraproject.org/get-fedora" /wiki/Releases/9/Alpha/ReleaseNotes - Hits: 18990 Referrer: 17 "http://developers.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/02/05/199201&from=rss" 22 "http://digg.com/linux_unix/Fedora_9_Sulphur_Alpha_Released" 24 "http://developers.slashdot.org/" 25 "http://lwn.net/Articles/267880/" 31 "http://www.pro-linux.de/news/2008/12297.html" 32 "http://www.tuxmind.altervista.org/?p=542" 34 "http://www.osnews.com/story/19274/Fedora_9_Alpha_Released" 36 "http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/9/Alpha/ReleaseNotes" 36 "http://www.abclinuxu.cz/" 42 "http://www.abclinuxu.cz/zpravicky/fedora-9-alpha-sulphur" 70 "http://developers.slashdot.org/article.pl?no_d2=1&sid=08/02/05/199201" 73 "http://www.osnews.com/story/19274" 74 "http://planet.fedoraproject.org/" 93 "http://osnews.com/story/19274/Fedora-9-Alpha-Released" 99 "http://slashdot.org/" 123 "http://osnews.com/" 149 "http://distrowatch.com/?newsid=04741" 187 "http://www.osnews.com/" 225 "http://developers.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/02/05/199201" 428 "http://developers.slashdot.org/developers/08/02/05/199201.shtml" 683 "http://distrowatch.com/" Mirrorlist - 1797: 8 "http://www.kaldata.com/" 9 "http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/" 11 "http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/publiclist/Fedora/" 13 "http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/publiclist/Fedora/9-Alpha/x86_64/" 13 "http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/publiclist/Fedora/development/i386/" 21 "http://www.pro-linux.de/news/2008/12297.html" 26 "http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=180211" 28 "http://distrowatch.com/?newsid=04741" 49 "http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/publiclist/Fedora/9-Alpha/i386/" 56 "http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/publiclist" 149 "http://distrowatch.com/" 153 "http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/9/Alpha/ReleaseNotes" 158 "http://fedoraproject.org/get-prerelease" 229 "http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/publiclist/Fedora/8/" 282 "http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/publiclist/Fedora/9-Alpha/" -Mike -- Fedora-marketing-list mailing list Fedora-marketing-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-marketing-list
