[Discuss-gnuradio] CGRAN: some traffic statistics, top projects, call for new projects!

[George Nychis]

Hey all,

I hope you're enjoying #grhack with your airhorn ;)

CGRAN (https://cgran.org) still continues to grow, and its traffic far exceeds ever what I thought it was.  Here are some numbers:

• Page Views Per Day:  ~1000+
• Unique Visitors: 1,598 (in 1 week)
• Demographics:  visitors from 83 countries, top 3:  US, Canada, Germany
• Registered Users Accounts:  311
• "Project Page" Views Per Day:  ~100
• Top 5 Projects (in past week):  1) Mode S Receiver, 2) Funcube Dongle, 3) AIS, 4) RDS, 5) Smartnet

So, either Nick uses botnets to refresh his project pages, or we should thank him for providing 3 of the top 5 projects ;)  To give a traffic perspective, Mode S Receiver gets ~80 hits a day, whereas Smartnet gets around 12 hits a day.

I hope this shows that CGRAN is still very active, and in fact growing.  People do visit it quite often to see what kind of GNU Radio projects there are out there.  So, please keep building on it!  People will find your projects this way.  

Note, you do not have to use the SVN repository.  You are free to create a project page and link to external code sources (e.g., github).
