Info share

   Richard presented at the @media conference in San Francisco last
   week - went well - 150 web developers and designers present (single
   track) - lots of interest in the talk, and most of the following
   speakers alluded to it, Tantek Celik even added a new slide to
   address some i18n stuff

   [17]http://crazyegg.com/dashboard#58733 points to a test run by RI
   on the i18n home page, using a free account to track where people
   clicked on the home page. User name ishida@w3.org, password
   crazyegg.

     [17] http://crazyegg.com/dashboard#58733

   The results are interesting:
     * in 1982 visits over the last 12 days, there were 899 clicks
       recorded on the page
     * nearly every link on the page has been selected, ranging across
       the whole of the page
     * the clear leader is the search box in the top right of the page,
       followed by the search box half-way down the right side (for
       news items in particular) - they scored 106 and 49 clicks
       respectively
     * after the search boxes, the next most frequently clicked links
       were all in the Getting Started section top-left, as follows:
       Start here, 62 clicks; Introducing character sets and encodings,
       24 clicks; language on the web, 20 clicks; Quick tips, 9 clicks.
       This is very significant. RI wasn't sure previously whether
       those articles were being accessed from the home page, but we
       see that they are actually the most popular. AC suggests that we
       provide additional articles of this type, therefore.
     * The topic index links on the left are also being used. The most
       clicked link is Language, followed by Characters. 52% of the
       clicks on Language, however, came from people who came to the
       i18n home page from the WAI page at
       http://www.w3.org/WAI/ER/IG/ert/iso639.htm
