If I had to guess, I'd say somewhere between 40 and 100, somewhere around 20-50% of whom are MandrakeSoft employees. Don't quote me on that, however. It's a much smaller developer community than Debian (especially if the more unofficial developers (Texstar, etc.) who operate outside the system aren't counted), so the average developer has more to do, but those numbers are skewed by the full-timers (how many packages does Fred Crozat, for instance, maintain?). I may ask a Debian maintainer and LUG-mate for his opinions on these matters the next time I get a chance. -- Levi Ramsey [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] The food of love is Mandrake root.
