I think it's nice if the default list that opens in SqueakMap is the list of "supported" software; the list that has been tested and verified to work.

So if you do a scrape into SM, we should keep that in mind.

I would loathe to base decisions on # of downloads. If a project has multiple dependent packages (like Magma), I'm pretty sure it inflates the number to 1 per package, even though that should be just "1" download. Besides that, wouldn't that basis favor older packages since they existed longer to be potentially downloaded? To me it just doesn't seem like a good basis..

That was an interesting exercise. Of all the projects on http://www.squeaksource.com 495 have downloads greater than 1000. Of those 495, some observations can be made.

Some are old and bypassed by other projects. Some are for compsi courses at schools. Some are part of the Pharo development process. Others are Pharo only.  Many others are idiosyncratic personal projects. I'd say there are 50 projects people go back to again and again. What is it they say? 20% of all salespeople get 80% of all the sales. Something like that is happening on SqS. There is a canon of projects and a lot of outliers.

I had thought of scraping SqS to get the goods and move it over to Squeak Map. In truth, if I made everything at MetacelloRepository available and then then moved 50 key projects by hand then I'd have covered 80% of all possible needs. The idea that SqueakSource is useful because it has breadth and depth is a canard. People are going back over and over again for the same projects.
