User Estimates

[glen e. p. ropella]

Hey guys, 

Here's my small effort at estimating our user community.
Please correct my math and let me know if anybody has
any clever ideas about how to get a good estimate.


 17 posts to swarm-support from unique posters/week
              => minimum of 17 active users

 44 attendees at SwarmFest
 92 release.html web page hits last week
160 members of swarm-support
258 downloads of swarm-1.0.? by unique users since release of 1.0

              => upper bound of ~114 active users
                 (statistic average (17+44+92+160+258)/5 = 114.2)
