First off Great job on finishing up the website and upgrading it.

Second off I think it would be great to dive into some of our other goals of the site. It's great to have a built in functional basic site. I think it would be cool to add the features such as tutorial submission/display etc Or gallery etc. (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1K2O-gRdbkP0XATykk6LcPo6O5-JdQzK4QmPpuLoagQI/pub)

Also why does the current download link on the front page direct to the download page vs's detecting the users os and downloading the correct file for their device with options to download the other versions or for other os's.
Thanks,
Ian

Hey Developers,

I'm been monitoring the inkscape.org website for a few weeks and I waned
to give you guys some data on how much traffic we get and what kind of
visitors are coming.

First off, one and half million freaking views a month guys. This
project is rocking and we should count our website as a major outlet for
news and contributions. That's half a million users a month, 80% of who
never visited before.

If you take a look at the files, os wise we have a lot of windows and
mac visitors. Plenty of iOS ones too, more than android. I feel we
should make our os downloads more prominent on the front page. That's
where most people are going.

Language is interesting too. Lots of French, German, Japanese and
Spanish. We should make sure that our website translations are up to
scratch for these languages especially.

Search terms are also interesting. Common mis-spellings for inkscape are
inkspace, inscape, inskape, incscape, inkskape, inkscap, inscape, 'ink
space' etc. Which looks like people heard is by ear and heard 'in' or
instead of 'ink' and 'space' instead of 'scape'. Various variations on c
for k and lots of transpositions.

Other popular terms: download, free, vector, svg, drawing, program,
software, tutorial, mac, illustrator, open source, editor, msi, osx and
x11.

Some searches of 'inkscape portable' spread around th results, not sure
what that is or if people are searching for phone versions.
