Community size

[Aaron]

Are there any metrics regarding MongoDB community size? How many
active contributers? How widely used? How big are the biggest
deployments? How many bugs? How quickly are they resolved?

[Scott Hernandez]

You can get most of those stats from the github repositories, the jira
issue tracker, and trolling the list archives.

The community seems large; There are many patches from users, and bug
reports which are fixed fairly quick based on severity.

Take a look for yourself and let us know what you see :)

Here are a few things that I think are interesting...

3,000+ messages each month on the user forum
http://markmail.org/search/?q=mongodb#query:mongodb%20list%3Acom.googlegroups.mongodb-user+page:1+state:facets

100,000+ downloads/month

Public production deployments
http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Production+Deployments

Lots of job postings for MongoDB devs
http://www.indeed.com/jobs?q=mongodb&l=

User groups and events
There were 500+ people at MongoSV, we expect a similar turnout for
MongoSF, and there are user groups in many cities. e.g. the NY MUG has
over 700 members
http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/MongoDB+User+Groups+%28MUGs%29
10gen.com/events

Hope this helps!
