      @libremax Seems a bit odd. We hit delivery targets for OTA and it's to soon to report. Maybe they only like even numbers XD

        @Lakotaubp I guess they don't want to focus too much on distributions with frequent releases in their news but they should at least complete the distribution notice.

          Looking at DistroWatch this morning, it seems that UBports has suddenly slipped out of the top 100 (it has been mid-80s for a long time) to a position of 115. I wonder if we might rally round and get it back in again.

            @3arn0wl It was expected because Distrowatch did not publish any news about OTA-7 since "it comes too soon on the previous release for us to cover." (see above).

            So we now know that 4 weeks is too short a time frame (OTA-7/OTA-6) and 6 weeks is enough (OTA-6/OTA-5) to qualify for a new on Distrowatch.

            The release of new versions should take this into account.

              I understand that OTA-8 isn't far away....?

                  I don't think we need to be too concerned about our ranking on Distrowatch. It's extremely subjective and seems pretty easy to game. "Number of page hits" isn't a good metric for much of anything.

                    I agree it's not an especially significant ranking, and I also agree that it's not something to try to game by changing anything about what the project does. The page ranking does attract eyeballs though, as does the site in general, so I hope they will cover major news and big releases.

                      I know it's not the be-all-and-end-all, @UniSuperBox, but I just, desperately, want to see this beautiful OS granted the recognition and attention is so rightly deserves.

                        @3arn0wl a big step for consecration of UT is when MIR will be fully implemented and operational, with all improvements linked, i think. So probably/certainly for OTA 9 i(we) hope (all).

                          @domubpkm We keep saying UT will be good when X, Y, Z happens...

                          Truth is: UT is pretty damn good now.

                            UBports Ubuntu Touch makes its comeback in the top 100 (at rank 99 today) of the Distrowatch ranking over 6 months after having already appeared there a few weeks in late 2018 / early 2019: https://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=ubports

                                That's probably only the project description.

                                Ranking is here: https://distrowatch.com/dwres.php?resource=popularity
                                And OTA14 release is announced there: https://distrowatch.com/?newsid=11071

                                So it looks updated.

                                  Exactly, the ranking change continuously and the news updates are frequent but does not change the editing date of the project description.
