hiya,<br>
<br>
great - thanks Camille and Greg, this is a good start :) i'll follow
up on your advice - this is related to floss manuals libre graphics
expand&update activities i'm trying to get of ground before lgm
london. therefore an estimate of active participants in development
+ users is probably what i'm looking for.<br>
<br>
best, lara<br>

<div>Hi,<br>
<br>
</div>
I suppose you can take several inputs ...<br>
number of downloads for Gimp + Inkscape + Scribus +
Blender + Krita + ... + ... <br>
</div>
numbers of users in each bugtrackers... <br>
</div>
<div>number of people attending LGM...<br>
</div>
<div>number of artists claiming to use theses tools in
communities like DeviantArt... <br>
</div>
<div>number of paid developers... <br>
</div>
try to reduce this sum with the number of peoples
downloading or contributing in several projects... <br>
<br>
</div>
It's really linked to which scope you want to look at !<br>
<br>
</div>
Have a nice week end,<br>

</span>I'll be interested to see what others think, but
about all I can say is<br>
that it is likely bigger than any of us realize, of course
depending how<br>
you mark the boundaries of this "community".<br>
I recall being a bit amazed at the point when Scribus had a
million<br>
downloads some years ago. We have those involved with the
project, a<br>
rather small number, those who interact on various lists and
forums, a<br>
quite larger number, but we also know there are many out
there using<br>
Scribus, but never interact so that we might get a sense of
this<br>
nebulous group of users.<br>
<br>
And this doesn't even touch the probably large numbers of
users who are<br>
not English speakers, and have their own worlds of
interaction. This is<br>
with just one libre graphics project.<br>
