OpenOffice.org Statistics
=========================
* More than 62,900,000 have downloaded OpenOffice.org so far
(as of 29 April 2006).
* The OpenOffice.org project has about 35,000 unique people subscribed
to the mailing lists (as of 30 May 2006).
* 726 people and companies have signed a JCA and are thus either already
contributing or considering to do so (as of 30 May 2006):

* More than 635,000 people completed the user survey since the launch of
OpenOffice.org 2.0 on October 20, 2005 (as of 30 May 2006).
Unfortunately, not all responses were counted in May due to a survey
outage.
