yep, agreed.

Yes.

On MacPorts you mean?

Well, there is Clemens' mpstats project [1], but the number of users contributing is still very small.

Looking e.g. at the core library port kdelibs4 shows that there are only 3 users (one of them being me).

And here [3] you can see when I had installed which KMyMoney4-devel version.

Given more users would participate in this MacPorts-survey additional overview pages would be nice,
like a summary of all ports installed for a given category. I mean, the kde category alone has already
252 ports listed and it would be cool to be able to see, which of those are actually installed somewhere.

Greets,
Marko
