I'm happy to report that today Debian popularity-contest passed 20000 participants/machines. On <URL:http://popcon.debian.org/> you can see 20005 submissions considered. :)
>From the stats, one can see that these are the 10 most used non-Debian packages (http://popcon.debian.org/unknown/by_vote): #rank name inst vote old recent no-files 1 lame 3130 1006 1749 375 0 2 transcode 2015 912 724 379 0 3 skype 1464 816 502 145 1 4 opera 1123 704 331 86 2 5 sun-j2sdk1.5 1095 702 335 55 3 6 mjpegtools 2097 644 1050 403 0 7 realplayer 1456 632 674 92 58 8 j2re1.4 858 557 279 16 6 9 sun-j2re1.5 812 519 243 45 5 10 mencoder 1884 499 376 1008 1 As you can see, multimedia tools are the most popular tools currently missing in the Debian archive. Not too surprising. :) The submitters are also providing information on their architecture. This give a nice view on the diversity of the Debian community. 16612 84.12% i386 2048 10.37% amd64 460 2.33% arm 266 1.35% powerpc 132 0.67% sparc 49 0.25% alpha 44 0.22% hppa 32 0.16% ia64 25 0.13% mipsel 18 0.09% s390 17 0.09% mips 14 0.07% armeb 12 0.06% kfreebsd-i386 10 0.05% m68k 5 0.03% hurd-i386 2 0.01% kfreebsd-amd64 2 0.01% i486 1 0.01% ppc64 19749 100.00% total (ignored 256 without arch info) If you want your machine to participate as well, all you need to do is 'aptitude install popularity-contest', and accept when asked if you want to participate.
