Hi Pierre,

that sounds wonderful, thanks for the work, this will be nice data points :)

Did you see my previous mail? It would be amazing if you can consider
growing this side-project into something official in terms of being
available on http://pkgstats.archlinux.org/

I think this is really a great idea and project that we should advocate
in the official hosting namespace :)

cheers and thanks,
Levente
