As of the moment, subscriber counts for Commons related mailing lists are: 443 commons-dev 182 commons-httpclient-dev 558 commons-user For comparison, the largest user mailing lists at Jakarta are struts-user (2759) and tomcat-user (2363) For download counts, Vadim Gritsenko posts some unofficial (but seem to be accurate) web site statistics at: http://www.apache.org/~vgritsenko/stats/index.html Unfortunately, the commons packages are not separately accounted for -- you might want to email Vadim to see if he can easily separate that out from the data he's analyzing. > Regards, > Vikram Goyal Craig McClanahan --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
