Hi, For the Debian derivatives census[1] integration[2] with debtags[3][4], we wanted some way of ordering the derivatives by popularity. Since several of the derivatives include a link to the corresponding distrowatch page, we thought we could interface with distrowatch somehow. Would it be possible to get a machine-parsible file containing the redirect short URL[5], the table.php param[6] and some numerical measure of popularity? The redirect short URL and the table.php parameter are different for some distributions, for example LMDE[7][8]. 1. http://wiki.debian.org/Derivatives/Census 2. http://wiki.debian.org/Derivatives/Integration 3. http://debtags.debian.net/ 4. http://www.enricozini.org/2012/debian/debtags-for-derivatives/ 5. http://distrowatch.com/foo 6. http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=bar 7. http://distrowatch.com/lmde 8. http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=mint -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
