Say, the homepage http://oolite-linux.berlios.de doesn't render correctly using Firefox under UbuntuLinux...
OTOH, using FF in OSX, it does????

just mentioning this, not really a problem for me, it just looks a bit clumsy

Anyone folowing the projects' statistics over at berlios?

Cool

Of course, I check them daily!

What a peak!

Is that because of the happypenguin entry some days ago?

(BTW... heh, I tried to enter Oolite myself, because it wasn't there yet... got the 'error' message there was already an entry in the pipeline (not published yet, though)
Looks like you beat me to it. Just! Laughing

Probably is because of Happypenguin. The increase started showing up right around the time it came on the front page. Unfortunately, it's about to fall off the end of the front page of Happypenguin, but hopefully we've got a few hundred new players in the meantime.

The berlios.de downloads are just part of the picture - ftp.alioth.net has also had 295 downloads of the rc4 installer since it was put there. Unfortunately rsync doesn't seem to keep any logs so I don't know how much the rsync updater has been used for older versions.

Strange thing is, the Windows port got even more hits in that timeframe, but fewer downloads... Dual booters?

Anyhow: in short time you'll be able to go drop the Beta stage and do and update on Happypenguin Very Happy

EDIT: Heh, I just saw you reached STABLE!

I also put an announcement on Freshmeat (it only remained on the front page for about a day, FM is rather busy) which netted a couple of hundred more downloads. The FM announcement also includes a link to the Mac OS X package, so hopefully a few more Mac users got netted too.

That's cos you have unleashed the grail of Elite gaming to an underground fan base the size of Lave's Orbital perigee.
