I was wondering if anyone had an idea or estimate as to how large the Haskell community is ?

No one knows. There are many figures that you could use to estimate the size (e.g. I try to gather signifcant stats in yearly reports about Hackage)

* In 2010, for example, 138,000 unique IPs downloaded the Haskell Platform.

Right 138,000, but that would not account for gateways :|

Or people who get Haskell related stuff via their Linux distribution (specifically Debian, Ubuntu and Fedora, but possibly others as well). Erik -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Erik de Castro Lopo http://www.mega-nerd.com/
