Re: Can we measure Fedora users by language?

An interesting question has been asked during the I18N track of
the last Flock: can we tell how many Fedora users actually use
a specific (human) language? This would help us answer the questions
like:

* do the translations increase the number of Fedora users?
* are there languages not really used by Fedora users?

This seems easy to measure if we are able to count the number of
downloads of specific packages, here langpacks would be interesting,
as a percentage of total Fedora installs. Note that the total sum
would probably be larger than 100% because an individual computer may
have multiple langpacks installed and also because a single IP may be
shared by multiple computers. This is still OK.

That is great idea.. and would love to get see this figure.

On the other side.. translations definitely helps to gain more contributors. It is low barrier contribution. Once new contributor learn and become contributor to Fedora he can explore other domains.
