Do you have a plot (graph) of the growth of your user base? Perhaps a month to month increase in downloads for the code, and maybe membership for the forum?

I’m sure they do, if they’ll give it out is another thing.  If you look at the memberlist sorted by join date, you’ll see that today more than 20 people joined.  And the last few days have seen similar numbers.  To me, that’s saying something.

Welcome to CodeIgniter.

great start! now how do I get the data without having to click thru 1117 pages?

If you have a lot of ram and patience you can turn that first 50 in the link to 50000 and it’ll spit it out in one piece.  Then view source, copy paste the table into excel and create a graph.  I just tried with 15000 and my computer crashed when Textmate decided I wanted those 50k lines of html syntax highlighted 😛 .

thanks

Hi,

I’m afraid that wouldn’t be of much use, because it seems that the CodeIgniter and the ExpressionEgine forums share the same user statistics for: Total Registered Members, Total Topics, Total Replies, Total Posts. So there’s no way to know to which community belongs each user… Look at the EE user figures http://ellislab.com/forums/ , exactly the same as in CodeIgniter, except those for the active members.

There are other sites where you can compare the CI popularity against other frameworks:

Google Trends: CodeIgniter, CakePHP, symfony, Zend framework

Compete:// Codeigniter, CakePHP

Alexa:// CodeIgniter, CakePHP

In the last two links I had to exclude symfony (they changed recently their project website TLD from .org to .com), and Zend Framework (they can’t monitor separately the traffic for subdomains like framework.zend.com). Anyway I would give much more credibility to Google trends.

EDIT:
One thing to note is that you should account for all the possible variant/typos on each name. For example, I usually see CodeIgniter written as “code igniter”, “code ignitor”, “codeignitor”... “Code Igniter” still has a significant number of results
