The involved persons are really high class team players and I know from personal experience with other projects that there are at least 30x more users than the ones who show up on mailing lists. You only hear from them after a conference talks when they tell you that they do 15 million requests per day with your tool ;) The same seems true for Isis given the questions we have on the mailing list every now and then.
