I'm always surprised by the total number of my posts here, since I think of myself as a fairly lazy person, but I've often had the feeling that my MODX extras are only used by a few dozen people, if that, and that some of them are only used by one or two people. Nearly everyone uses getResources and Wayfinder, but my extras a not nearly as widely used.
I've been working on a script to auto-create content for the MODX rtfm docs for my extras, and I realized that I could gather some statistics in the process. Keeping in mind that downloads != actual users, I was still shocked at the numbers:
- Total downloads of my extras: 126,401
- Total files in all my extra packages: 32,945
- Total lines of code: 693,844
I guess the last two numbers explain why it seems like maintaining them is a full-time job (not that I'm complaining -- I love doing it).
I'll be posting some blog articles showing how I got the numbers, but they probably won't appear for some time.
