Thanks, Bob. I thought most of those were already included in the “JBoss.ORG” stats from SourceForge; that’s why I was mentionng the upper bound of 200K d/l/month. Feel free to send me other pointers, I’m intersted, but, in any case, I’ll try to do ‘apples-to-apples’ comparisons if/when I talk about this. – eduard/o

@Eduardo

I apologize for the lack of clarity. The 20,000,000 number is for all of JBoss projects, not just AS. This would include Mobicents, JGroups, RichFaces. Our entire ecosystem of publicly/freely downloadable stuff.

Would you mind clarifying the # of downloads? If I go to the JBoss SourceForge downloads site, I see less than 200K d/l per month for all artifacts (178K in Jan08, less than 95K for the AppServer). Is there another source of d/ls? Stats at SourceForge are wrong?

Thanks, – eduard/o
