Thank you, Rysiek.

Yeah, stats you mentioned are really valuable and we are considering them now. These are actually community activity metrics (compare  JMM mockup proposed by Damon).


Perfectly, we would like to have 3 groups of productization metrics. Let's say:

- how easy is to start using product (Please consider name contest as open ;-) )
  This would include "packed for download" metric and measuring available project documentation.

- support
  Here I mean professional support services, training and (optionally) activity on user's forums.

- project popularity / customer satisfaction
  

The point is, how to measure it.

Yes. It came to my mind that polls could be useful not only measuring how product meets users' requirements (customer satisfaction), but these are also a good place to ask them how documentation is helpful (the first group of metrics).

What do you think?
How about google metric? Seems tempting to measure how popular project is using google search.

Cheers,
