Thread: Freshmeat most popular projects

Freshmeat most popular projects

A small analysis at freshmeat.net

MySQL and PostgreSQL share the 9th and 10th rankings at freshmeat most
popular * projects.

The margin is minimal and this is good, bear in mind that competitors
are non rdbms related projects.

While the popularity seems to be a close battle, the "Rating / Rate"
measurement is hosting PostgreSQL at the 22th ranking, being MySQL the
number 336th!!!

* Popularity:

How do you measure popularity?

The popularity score superseded the old counters for record hits, URL
hits and subscriptions. Popularity is calculated as

((record hits + URL hits) * (subscriptions + 1))^(1/2)
