Hi :)
I can see the point but "uncountable" tends to be used to mean infinite rather 
than just an ever-changing number.  Also that draws too much attention to some 
of the fears that mainstream people have of voluntary projects, ie that they 
are unreliable and can't be trusted.  

I think keep "thousands" even though it might be inaccurate.  There probably 
are tons more, as Cor seems to be suggesting, but it keeps it within 
mainstreamer's limited understanding of the way things work.  Once they become 
more familiar with OpenSource projects they might begin to see how it is 
possible to run such a vast project as LO and how people are assets (even ones 
that disagree with each other) rather than troublesome irritations.  

Regards from
Tom :)

In stead of 'thousands of volunteers', I would suggest 'a uncountable number of'

Very good idea!
