Community Driven Statistics for Download Day

Thursday, June 5, 2008
By Ken Kovash

Hats off to community member Ehsan Akhgari for his awesome analysis of our Download Day pledge data (it far exceeds my feeble attempt).  Not only is Ehsan’s analysis updated in real-time, but he’s also made the source data available for other community members to work with and build on his ideas.  Great job!

    Hi Ken,

    I created another tool which may be interesting as well. It’s a graph comparing the countries’ pledge rankings throughout the time. It’s completely dynamic, allowing one to compare any number of arbitrary countries.

    You can find it at: http://ehsanakhgari.org/mozilla/downloadday/stats/pledge-ranking-graph

    Follow up related to the importance of localizations, and why it gives Mozilla a head-start:

    Hello Ken,

    I have written a Firefox Download Day country activity monitoring tool that fetches pledge information directly from Spreadfirefox Download Day page and represents it in sortable table format. For some reason the link you supplied to Ehsan’s page was returning this error message the whole day.

    There are still couple of hours of the Download Day, and I wish we all can enjoy it. Great job, Firefox team :)
