Axiom has an astonishing number of downloads, given its advertising
budget. And it never ceases to amaze me how many people seem to know
about it. I was recognized in a random bookstore in philadelphia by
two japanese people who use Axiom. I was astonished, to say the least.
I know of no way to measure the number of users.
If we get code/documentation then I'd call them developers.
However, good documentation is clearly vital. Mathematica has dozens
of "for dummy"-level books available and many that have the classroom
as a target. Documentation at all levels is the only way I believe
that Axiom can live.
