Cool, thanks Matthew I already know from our time designing the website
last year that your work is just the sort of high quality we need ;)
As far as numerical data is concerned, I was thinking of doing
something like this along with a related presentation:
Plot data showing linux adoption trends over the last few years. At
first I thought it would be interesting to show some data from
distrowatch that demonstrated the rising popularity of Ubuntu as
compared to other linux distros, but i feel that would present a poor
image to new Linux users (since it seems to show competition amongst
the linux community).
I actually tried this already. You can quite easily get the distrowatch
numbers from the last year at http://distrowatch.com/text/newhpd.csv but
at that time Ubuntu was already #1, so the curve doesn't look that
impressive :) We would need one that started at 0. (but I also agree
with your point on competitiveness).
The related presentation that I was envisioning would be a "PR"
feeling document that would explain why people like Linux so much,
some of the great things that make Linux unique and then show adoption
trends with a graph from the spreadsheet.
Perfect!

ps. I've dropped ubuntu-doc from the CC list, as this isn't really
documentation related anymore.
