 We should get an understanding of the usage that GetTor sees:
 * How many users use GetTor per day/week/month, approximately?
 * How does this break down by country?  Is GetTor particularly popular in
 some countries?
 * How does this break down by distribution channels?  Is XMPP more popular
 than Email?

 Naturally, we will have to figure out a way to answer these questions in a
 privacy-preserving way, e.g., by
 [https://research.torproject.org/safetyboard.html#guidelines binning data
 and only collecting what's safe to publish].

 Before we dive into answering these questions, we should get a better
 understanding of what statistics we already have.  Hiro mentioned that
 there may be some data in Collector.
