This evening Stu Gott dropped a bombshell on me, not literally but
it had a similar impact. The guys at rPath have run a report on our
little project and I was shocked to say the least when I found out
that the Bongo appliance has been downloaded 0ver 15000 times. I seem
to remember thinking this is a nice small project for me to help the
Bongo-Project with, it will never take off as much as the packages
that Andrew and the others are creating but will allow me to do my
part.
Well to say the least I was sceptical as you can guess but then he
pasted these stats for me to look at.

I had to add up the totals myself as I could not believe it was that
much. But true to form the total was 15892 which is a great
achievement.
I cannot continue on without mentioning the guys who keep this
project going I am not going to mention names as I my memory is so
bad that I would forget someone. THANKS
GUYS!!!!!!!
I feel like i have won and Oscar or something like that.
This has not been a chore to do as I have been learning as we have
gone along and without Stu Gott's help I am sure I would still be
pulling my hair out. What shocks me more is that people are
downloading us even though we say that it is not quite ready for use
yet.
I am sure we will break all types of records when we release version
1.0 and it is something I look forward to. There is still many hours
of programming and packaging ahead of us and we will continue doing
what we do best looking after our baby as it were.
I almost forgot to add that I want to that all the people who have
downloaded The Bongo appliance and also the other packages for being
interested and also for trying us out. We are getting better and
better.
I have run out of words to say.........
Thanks
