Interesting statistics about Org-mode

Interesting statistics about Org-mode

[Carsten Dominik]

Hi,

here are some numbers and facts about Org-mode that
continue to amaze me.

Contributors
------------
   - 35 signed-up contributors (i.e. with FSF papers), and more
     if you count the contrib directory and the Emacs maintainers
     who make small changes every now and then.

Mailing list
------------
   - Close to 800 subscribers to the mailing list.

   - More than 20000 messages in the mailing list archive on
     gmane.org, and quite a few more in my private mail archive,
     because it contains also messages sent to me and replied to by
     me privately.

   - As far as I can tell, we have not even had an attempt to start
     a flame in the mailing list (maybe thanks to the moderators,
     but I don't think so)

   - Absolutely no spam (definitely this is because of our excellent
     moderators!)

Websites
--------
   - The main FSF page about Emacs (http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/)
     mentions 4 extensions as examples.  Org-mode is one of them,
     together with Gnus, the Debugger, and the Calendar.

   - More than 200000 visits to the website orgmode.org in a single  
year.
     The only countries from which there have been no visits at all  
during
     that year are Greenland, Albania, Turkmenistan, Yemen, Guyana,
     and about 12 countries in Africa.

   - Lifehacker.com put Org-mode into its Outline Tools top-five
     selection list.

   - Typically 10 Twitter messages a day mention Org-mode.

Google Tech Talk
----------------
   - almost 50000 Views of the Google Tech Talk.
     This is almost as many as as the Google Tech Talks by the
     One Famous GTD Guru Merlin Mann:
     - "Inbox Zero" with about 60000 Views
     - "Time and Attention" with about 70000 Views
     There are only some 35 Google Tech Talks with more views,
     this is crazy.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

All of this make me very proud.  Thanks to all of you for making
it happen.

- Carsten

And that doesn't take into account those of us who read the list via
Gmane as the newsgroup "gmane.emacs.orgmode".¹

Yes.  But I have absolutely no feeling how many this might be.
