About the directory data

Install counts are WordPress.org bucket floors. Downloads include updates and repeat downloads. Unknown ratings and dates stay unknown. Categories use reviewed tag rules and may overlap; their counts must not be added together. Browsing does not change which plugin profiles are published.
