Just for some cold hard numbers, we've gotten ~166,000 downloads from
Sourceforge alone since Feb 1, 2001. Or about 1850 downloads per day. Here's
the table:

April ( 63.59 ) 73,410
March ( 56.36 ) 54,873
February ( 71.54 ) 37,172

So this means that not only are our downloads growing, but at a rate of
about 1 1/2 per month.

And these aren't the people who passively get updates from Ximian, et. al...
these are people who have actively sought out and downloaded Abi.

Just food for thought.
Dom
