[Gmod-help] Re: [Gmod-ajax] JBrowse and GMOD at PAG

[Dave Clements]

Hi Nicole,

We don't have a definitive list of GMOD users (but keeping some track of
them is on my todo list).

I'm attaching excerpts from the recent GMOD grant proposal that will give
you some idea of what GMOD usage is and how demand is increasing.

Let me know if you have questions.

Since the launch of the wiki in 2007, there have been over 10,000 updates,
approximately one third of them by the Help Desk.

>From December 2008 through September 2009, gmod.org had an average of 18,196
unique monthly visitors, an increase of 8.9% relative to the previous year.
Over the last 12 months, there were 350,207 different visits and 975,302
pages viewed.

Membership in the 7 current GMOD lists managed by GMOD project support
personnel is up across all lists. In the past 20 months total membership in
these lists is up from 772 addresses to 1077, a 40% increase.  Membership in
the JBrowse and GBrowse lists has increased 98% and 60%, respectively.
Traffic is also up significantly on these lists.  In the 12 month period
ending in September 2009, there were 3099 messages on these lists, up from
1829 messages in the previous 12 months, a 69% increase in message volume,
largely (96%) on the GBrowse and JBrowse lists.  These statistics do  not
include additional well-trafficked lists maintained outside of the GMOD
SourceForge project (Apollo, BioMart, Ergatis, Galaxy, InterMine, MAKER,
Pathway Tools, and Sybil) for which statistics are not readily available.

Attendance at summer schools and project meetings has also been on the
rise.  In 2008, there were 29 applications for the single GMOD Summer
School.  In 2009 there were 110 applications for 2 summer schools, an
increase of 279%. Attendance at the 2 most recent GMOD meetings (August and
January 2009) has been, on average, 48% higher than at the previous two
meetings (July 2008 and November 2007).  A total of 102 attendees were at
the two 2009 meetings, while there were 69 attendees at the previous two
meetings.
