Description

I think it could be interesting to have an estimate of how many people, and if possible too what kind of people, read Git Rev News each month, for a number of reasons:

  • The trend over the months and years could be some kind of long term feedback.
  • If we see that some months more people read it, maybe it could give an idea about which kind of content is preferred.
  • If it looks like people reading it could be interested in participating in Git development, maybe we could add content to help them or encourage them.
  • If it looks like people reading it could be interested in participating in Git Rev News, maybe we could take advantage of that too.

So can we have a an idea of the number of views of the different pages on https://git.github.io/? Can we have the number of subscribers to the email edition of the newsletter?

@jnareb, @mjaix, @sivaraam, @stepnem what do you think about this?
