Since GeoServer has a multitude of different ways that it can be run (.BIN, .WAR, two different .EXEs*, .DMG, source), I decided to poll SourceForge to get some numbers on how many people were downloading each version. So here's a roundup of the various non-documentation archive statistics for GeoServer 1.7.5:
* until I or someone else finds time to merge them together...
Total (so far): 7,010
1. Windows (service): 2,458 (35%)
2. Web archive: 1,678 (24%)
3. Binary: 1,615 (23%)
4. Source: 567 (8%)
5. Windows (legacy): 466 (7%)
6. OS X: 226 (2%)
I thought this was interesting. Maybe someone else will too.
Thanks,
