Topping seven thousand downloads, Instiki is now the most downloaded application on Rubyforge — the premier place for Ruby projects. The interesting thing is that the most recent version has an almost evenly divided split between .app, .tgz, and .zip downloads, which roughly translates to equal adoption by OS X'ers, Linux/FreeBSD'ers, and Windows people.

Even though I haven't had time to work on Instiki for quite some time, it's very warming to see these numbers climb higher and higher. I've talked to many people who've caught interest in Ruby after using Instiki. So as a trojan horse to increase Ruby adoption, it has been doing nicely as well.

So thanks to all Instiki users for the great interest! I hope that some day I'll be able to give it more attention again, but right now other projects take higher priority.
