You could also use Wiki visits as some sort of approximate indicator...<br>The main VTK page at <a href="http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK">http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK</a> reports in excess of 73,000 page accesses... (since July 2004?)
<br><br>The CVS commit guidelines page that I added 3 months ago has been accessed 1,248 times.<br><br>Not easy to translate into "users" but certainly an indicator of healthy interest.<br><br>2 cents,<br>David<br>
