Hi Neil and others,

If there were a module showing these stats, people would be reminded of this feature and many, many more would turn it on. In other words, by providing module or core access to the stats, the feature itself would be promoted.

It is in the interest of everyone running a Drupal installation that the modules and themes they have (often after a long and painful testing) selected for use in production sites are precisely those that will develop further. By providing the stats to the xmlrpc they would automatically send a signal to the module/theme developers saying "go on, we depend on your module".

I am ready to work on a module that would provide these stats - whatever skewed they *currently* are. Can somebody please let me know how can I connect to the live database, or at least to its regular dumps so that I can get the raw data.

Cheers,

Tomas

I have checked this manually at the database prompt before. The
numbers are quite small due to the fact that this setting is quite
hidden in the UI. They are not statistically useful since the sample
size is so small and biased towards people who go out of their way to
turn it on.
