The Deimos Project
Improving Deimos
It is technically possible to add this to Deimos, however I assumed that nobody would care much about the mouse scroll distance
It would be great if you could add more stats on the website comparing teams and users on keys, clicks, uptime, etc... we're all competitive by nature 
And also project wide stats, like what's the most used OS, processor, ammount of x86 vs x64 OSes, versions of Deimos being used (there might be some old ones out there still), etc...
There's an endless ammount of stats one could create with the info Deimos collects

You are right and this was also my intent. The problem is that this is user-interface-centered design in which in I am horribly bad. It's hard to create a good looking visual representation of all that information
Yeah, more stats would be great. Maybe a dedicated stats page with the Top 10/20 or even 50 computers (maybe even all of them 
), which one has the most hours, keypresses. clicks etc. Also , it'd be good if you could arrange your own machines in different ways instead of just by alphabetical order. Similar to what I've just suggested together with the ability to arrange them by last pulse. Other than that, everything looks good and the Project is making great progress
Thanks,
Pete

I had the following in mind: 3 links in the topbar: Community, Stats and Hardware
Community-page will be extended and divided in tabs. Expect toplists of teams and countries based on members, hours and achievements.
Statistics-page will have a toplist of users and computers. With the tabs you can view it sorted in hours, achievements, keystrokes, clicks, down- & uploaded
Hardware-page will feature global statistics about the hardware of all Deimos users. Expect graphs about Intel vs AMD, ATI vs nVidia, Windows vs Linux, number of CPU's per computer & memory per computer.
Of course, first I need to get 0.8.20 out of the door.
UPDATE: 0.8.20 is now finished for Windows, I will now finish the Linux-version. After that I need to update the website to handle the many new statistics. Then I can release 0.8.20

That's really cool! I can't wait to test it.
By the way, those short sentences on the lower right part of the page are really cool. Right now it's saying "There are at least 20 people using Linux. Deimos knows". I've seen a bundle of different ones already everytime I go through the site. Will you create more now that you collect even more data? Maybe on hardware and stuff like that?

I will
I have finally got 0.8.20 out of the door. Reliable hardware detection on Windows and Linux is really hard... This release perhaps is not revolutionary in itself but it will be for the website because I will be able to visualize a lot of statistics with the new version.
For beyond 0.8.20 I am aiming at:
- automatic update (manually downloading Deimos every time is too much work for a lot of users)
- more interface improvement (Performance tab is a bit empty, a lot more information can be added)
- doing more with keystrokes and mouseclicks statistics (limiting those stats to the last last 5 minutes isn't that useful)
BUT first I want to concentrate on the website. It really needs an update

Very nice!!! I'm getting a fatal error with the network stats but the rest are great, keep up the good work.

I am running a few experiments so you may see an error sometimes 
O.K, I can see the Network Stats now.

This is really good! Now this is the stuff we stats addicted folks were eager to have.
I only noticed that the video card percentages summed up don't add to 100%, you might need to add another entry on the table for "Others" or "Unidentified"?

Indeed, there are a few other videocards that can be summed up under 'other'
I was wondering... Deimos also detects when its running in a virtual environment, right?
So.. are these hardware statistics gathered only for the physical machines or for physical and virtual?

Virtual machines are ignored. If they aren't, you will get weird results like a quadcore-processor only having 1 core
New homepage and new commit-handling code online!
Hm.. What should I do next...

More stats within team members?
It only shows hours and number of computers yet.
Oh, and the cpu and memory achievements are still not working on the website. I would probably have the cpu achievement by now, I have the cpu running @100% all day.

CPU and memory statistics + achievements are planned
I also had an idea about a few more achievements and adding 'achievement-progress' (progressbar how far you are before you reach the achievement) but it's a lot of work.
What kind of stats did you have in mind for teams?

The same things, keys, mouse clicks, bandwidth and uptime, but between the team members, for us to compete against our team mates.
By the way, now that I see it, there is no uptime counting or records in the stats page. That could lead to another achievement, having an uptime higher than 1 month for example.

What happened to the triple cores on the hardware page? I was one of the 3% of them
Hardware statistics weren't available for 2 days because I was deploying a few new systems. Everything is now back online.
You might notice the new hardware information at your profile...

Now that's an eye candy. Very nice touch!
And the triple cores came back to the hardware page.
Is it me or this thread is becoming really long? Is there a way to jump to last post quickly?
EDIT: And I just noticed, you cut down on the slogan. "Lies, damn lies and statistics"

Wow, very impressive!!

some ideas (dunno if some are implemented already)
- installed and used browsers (%time)
- screen sizes, number of screens (for hardware stats) (i have 2 screens myself on a single laptop, one 1920*1200 an a 1440*900)
- Harddisk activity, size, % in use, count
both per computer and user as average + total per team and everyone
