After being out of comission for a while, Greg Beaver is happy to annouce that the statistics for the pear.php.net website have rejoined the world of the living:

After 3 grueling days of work, statistics are finally back up and running for pear.php.net, and are running fast at pecl.php.net. You can see the results in action at http://pear.php.net/package-stats.php.

The statistics show the global statistics for the PEAR project (like total packages, total downloads, and total releases) as well as information specific to each of the packages (including a list of top downloaded packages).

Greg also shares a bit more about the trials and tribulations (and help from Lukas Smith) that happened along the way. If you want to feel his pain and check it out, head over to his latest blog post.
