[odf-discuss] OOo marketing

For lack of a more focused place to send this email to, I recall at
least one OOo marketing sigs on posters to the list...

Just been looking at the OpenOffice.org market share analysis page,
prompted by an email containing a plea to register. Quickly noticed a
big gap and a number of smaller gaps in the figures...

The big gap: presumably every Linux distribution contains OpenOffice,
so every download is potentially an OpenOffice.org installation/user.
While not every Linux distro user will install or use OpenOffice
(given the alternatives available in most distros), many downloads are
installed on more than one computer, so some sort of circulation-style
figure should be included.

The small gaps: well, there's the French Ministry of Culture,
Specsavers, all those Eee PCs. Just ones that immediately come to
mind. Oh, and Oxford Archaeology, of course ;)

Cheers

Chris
