Since the beginning of this year there have been over 20K accesses. But more importantly, we have had 8800 different addresses since the server was started, making requests of the server. In some cases these requests are spurious, because they come from a WWW search engine (you'd be surprised what kind of weird things pick up Lojban gismu and rafsi files - someone searching for female genitalia ended up on the Lojban page - bet THEY were surprised!). Some sites will issue a www request from a variety of machines, and will thus show up as multiple sites in the log. On the other hand, more than one person at a major ISP like Digex or Netcom, will all show the same source address. Thus, the total number of sites probably balances out to a usable estimate. The server is averaging over 30 new sites requesting data every day, and there are gaps in the log, so that we are probably closing in fast on 10000 different people qquerying about Lojban. This is showing up in other ways. i think close to half the people on Lojban List are people who have never registered with us, so I have no idea who you are or your level of interest in the language, but it is presumable that most of you found out about Lojban from the WWW server. lojbab ---- lojbab lojbab@access.digex.net Bob LeChevalier, President, The Logical Language Group, Inc. 2904 Beau Lane, Fairfax VA 22031-1303 USA 703-385-0273 For the artificial language Loglan/Lojban, see ftp.cs.yale.edu /pub/lojban or see Lojban WWW Server: href="http://xiron.pc.helsinki.fi/lojban/"
