Tracking usage of OpenLP is incredibly difficult. Because it is an open
|
|
source project, there are no registrations to check, you don't know how
|
|
many times OpenLP has been copied and given to other people. So we don't
|
|
ever have a true idea of how many churches are using OpenLP.
|
|
|
|
Tracking downloads is also quite difficult due to OpenLP being available
|
|
in a number of distribution channels. We know roughly how many downloads
|
|
there are of the Windows and OS X versions because most folks just
|
|
download them from our SourceForge.net mirrors. There are a couple of
|
|
BitTorrent downloads, which we cannot track, but it is such a small
|
|
download that most folks just do a direct download.
|
|
|
|
Tracking downloads for the various Linux distributions is far tricker,
|
|
as there are no download statistics available. We cannot retrieve any
|
|
number from FreeBSD, Fedora, Ubuntu, Debian or Arch. Having said that,
|
|
we do have a PPA (Personal Package Archive) on Launchpad.net for our
|
|
Ubuntu users, and we are able to track those downloads.
|
|
|
|
So, using the data we **do** have available to us, we can surmise that
|
|
as of the time of posting, OpenLP 2.0.1 has been downloaded **43,781**
|
|
times. That's over *forty thousand* times! The real figure is probably a
|
|
lot higher, thanks to the downloads we can't track, but this still gives
|
|
us a rough idea of the impact of OpenLP.
