We shipped the 31DEC03 tar ball to 416 "sites" (unique IP addresses) in the last 30 weeks of this calendar year. During the full calendar year, over 551 sites contacted our cvs server. A plot of sites that have had at least one cvs access and of sites that have copied at least one of the tar balls is generated each week. The cumulative totals are quite significant. The cvs access implies that the site installed the 31DEC03 version of AIPS (MAKE.MNJ is not run while installing the frozen version) and/or ran the MNJ for 31DEC03. The tar-ball downloads count only downloads that completed successfully. In each of the totals, an individual IP address is counted only once. In general, an IP address is used by only one user, but more than one IP address will be used by those users that use dial-up connections. Thus, these totals are a modest over-estimate. Note, the totals also include multiple computers from single institutions such as NRAO. Since 31DEC04 was created and 31DEC03 was made slushy and then frozen, we have kept separate statistics. They are plotted again by cumulative distinct IP addresses. From December 2003 into December 2004, a total of 196 different IP addresses downloaded the frozen form of 31DEC03 and 808 IP addresses downloaded one or more copies of the 31DEC04 tarball. Fully 797 IP addresses accessed the NRAO cvs master. Each of these has at least installed 31DEC04 and 231 appear to have run the MNJ on 31DEC04 at least occasionally. The total number of unique IP addresses in these three lists was 1276. Since 31DEC05 was created and 31DEC04 was made slushy and then frozen, we are keeping separate statistics. Binary installations and MNJs are included in the version statistics and also reported separately. They are plotted again by cumulative distinct IP addresses. The numbers are suprisingly large actually, but they report, nonetheless, only transactions done after 4 December 2004. Since 31DEC06 was created and 31DEC05 was made slushy and then frozen, we are keeping additional separate statistics. Binary installations and MNJs are included in the version statistics and also reported separately. They are plotted again by cumulative distinct IP addresses. The numbers are suprisingly large actually, but they report, nonetheless, only transactions done after 3 December 2005.
