Day 1 of Suneido's public life. 20 down-loads. With no past experience to go by, it's hard to know if that's good or bad. But since the only announcements were on a few newsgroups, it seems okay. Those 20 down-loads came from 8 different countries - the global reach of the internet still amazes me. Got a few nice comments. Of course no one had actually tried it yet, or looked at the source code, so they're probably just being polite.

One of the down-loads was from David Ascher, a senior Python developer at ActiveState. It would be interesting to hear his comments. And, yes, I'm still personally looking at all the download registrations and replying to them by hand. The automated handling should be in place in the next day or two (written in Suneido, of course!).

I wonder what the next little while will bring? Unless we find some new places to post announcements, I suspect the down-loads will drop off. It would also be interesting to see the stats for the site but we can't seem to get them from our ISP yet.
