unfortunately, I do not see up-and-to-the-right type of numbers, but at least numbers are steady, this gives me more hopes that it is not to late to fix that if at all possible/needed.

If we have such numbers, could somebody provide a comparative statistics during past 6months? Could it be over-all number of users on mailing lists? Howmany subscribed/unsubscribed during certain period? Number of downloads may be? There are some metrics: http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/marketing/metrics/latest/
Hi Erast, I *really* do not understand why you appear to be so concerned about how large or extensive the OpenSolaris community actually is. Yes, the number of those who would call themselves part of the OpenSolaris community is probably not as large as Linux-adherents, but who really cares? Why does it matter? Having numbers just for sake of a "mine is larger than yours" style competition is a distraction from the real effort of making OpenSolaris better. James C.
