Re: [tdf-discuss] How did AOO figure it was worth $21 Million dollars a day or $7 billion per year?

I really think we need to "advertise" the number of downloads for each 
of our versions.

Actually, if we combined them like AOO did, it would be very misleading.

How many download of 3.6.5 and 4.0.0 has there been so far.  How many 
for 3.6.4 vs. 3.6.5?  That would be useful.

Yes, there are a lot of people who get their version form the Linux 
repositories or some other downloadable site.
