415 subscribers to the mailing list currently, and another 100 that are
only on the announce-list. Total of 513.

It is also interesting that there have been about 1200 downloads of 
Hobbit from Sourceforge every month since April:
http://sourceforge.net/project/stats/detail.php?group_id=128058&ugn=hobbitmon&type=prdownload&mode=year&year=2006&package_id=140220
There were over 2000 downloads in August, but that was probably due to 
the release of Hobbit 4.2.0.

I dont think that each and every one of the 500 subscribers to the mailing 
lists go and fetch a fresh copy of Hobbit every two weeks. So the
community of Hobbit users is probably somewhere into a few thousand people.

(Which, by the way, is a lot more than I had ever anticipated :-))
