Count of Haiku Lurkers

I stumbled on Haiku a few years ago and found the project very exciting.

I see myself as a future end user and have been looking forward to installing Haiku on an old PC and using it for checking e-mail, copying digital pictures from my digicam, downloading podcasts and general web surfing.

So thanks to all the people involved in the project through the years.

So my question is, is there a sense from the people in the project about how many people there are like me out there? People who check the Haiku site from time to time to see where the project stands and are looking forward to the day they can download something that will be easy to install on old hardware?

Again, I understand this project is the result of a lot of hard work from a lot of people so I don't want to sound impatient or ungrateful in any way.

I'm just wondering how long the virtual line of customers waiting for Haiku is.

Hi,

Not a definite measure of the number of lurkers, but FYI the website has about 2K registered users. It's interesting to see that in the last 30 days we had about 44K unique visitors, which (most probably) means that the majority of the people coming to haiku-os.org are not registered, indicating that there are definitely more lurkers out there. It would be interesting to know how many people are registered to the various Haiku mailing lists.
