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.
http://inkscape.org/media/stats/2014-05-18-2014-06-18/os.pdf http://inkscape.org/media/stats/2014-05-18-2014-06-18/lang.pdf http://inkscape.org/media/stats/2014-05-18-2014-06-18/searches.csv http://inkscape.org/media/stats/2014-05-18-2014-06-18/http-searches.csv
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.
Questions searched for:
What is Inkscape for What fonts are available on Inkscape What is the latest version of Inkscape inkscape when converting a bitmap to vector what determines the order of the color layers what do i download on the computer 2 be able 2 draw what file formats does inkscape use what is a free software like adobe what is a vector based graphic what is a vector editing program what is the best free vector graphics program what is the latest version of inkscape for mac what program do i open a vector image what software do google use to create svg whats a free vector app for mac when is the best time to add filters to an art project? when should you use the undo command in inkscape where can you find inkscape's tools in the workspace? where is x11 inkscape where to download inkscape where to find inkscape for download which is best gimp or inkscape why an icon made in inkscape does not change into nvg why does pasting into inkscape make it black
Interesting results. Any ideas from this data yourself?
Best Regards, Martin Owens

I think the portable might refer to this: http://portableapps.com/apps/graphics_pictures/inkscape_portable Some people have a usb with a bunch of apps on it that are configured to work off the stick, and not leave local files.

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-JdQzK4QmPpuLoa... )
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

All of the above are good questions. If they're not already answered in the FAQ, perhaps they'd be worth adding. Anyone want to take a shot at writing up answers for them?
