Hi Andreas,

I looked at one of these that looks familiar to me and that I have been
tracking in my DDPO for quite a while (Artemis), and DDPO shows 16
installations. Could it be that the tasks pages show the numbers for
regularly used ('vote') or recently upgraded ('recent') installations
only? Looking at these numbers for Artemis they indeed are 0.

I guess that for bioinformatics packages using these as the visible
popcon counts on the tasks page might skew the numbers a bit.
I can imagine that one wouldn't use some of these tools every single day
(or even regularly)...

Cheers
Sascha

(And yes, I have popcon reporting enabled on all my machines :))
