I know Zotero increased it's storage accounts by 115% in 2011, though I don't know how that matches broader numbers. In any case, I think for those of us with academic jobs, it would be good to have a number we can put on activity reports, etc. If others would like to let me know their user estimates, please post here, or send me off-list. I also think it would be nice to find ways, for the future sustainability of this project, to get credit for the intellectual and other contributions we make (though am not sure how).
