[LGM] how large is libre graphics community

[lara]

hiya,

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.

best, lara
