[mesa-users] mesa-web usage and your version 2.0 suggestions

[Frank Timmes]

thanks for sharing this data.
a straight line by eye suggests ~8/day, about twice of mesa-web's current usage.
mesa-web includes a front page link to ez-web. its all good.

ez-web was first to market. starting some 5 years before mesa-web
probably gives a user base that is comfortable with the tool.
... and we can guess how much syllabi usually change from year to year ....

basically, mesa-web has to innovate its way to the top slot.
