About 1 month ago I wrote some scripts to get the technical dictionary contents from the Wiki to a pdf.

At the time I wondered how many people would download it, so I did not spend a good time to make it neatly formatted. The end result pdf was not very good.

Today, however, I decided to check if people are actually downloading it. Doing some Data Mining on the Apache logs, I was quite surprised to see 387 downloads, 197 are from unique IP addresses. The break down of unique downloaders by country is shown below.

Encouraging, time to go back, beautify it and make it look good.

On another front, parsing the referers (which page directed people to the pdf), about 70% were from the arabic page, 30% from the English page. This highlights the importance of having pages in both languages for Arabic and English speakers.
