Is there a module or a live stats page listing module and theme usage stats that users keep sending to http://drupal.org/xmlrpc.php ? 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. -- Neil Drumm http://delocalizedham.com
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 -- Tomáš J.

Look into what update status for Drupal 5 and update module in Drupal 6 does. It provides you a security advantage by allowing you to know about all the latest security and bug fix releases you might be interested in, as well as shares the data you talk about with drupal.org, so we can use aggregate information for module rating/ranking. This data is already collected at drupal.org and was in part used by the project raking Google Summer of Code project. Your help would be most valued there as far as I see. Gabor
