Just wondering if anyone has any idea how many installations there are of Mailman around the world?

thanks

How do you count? Where I used to work, there were four groups, each with their own Mailman server. Does that count as one organization or four?

I would count that as 1 organization, 4 installations and presumably a number of active lists >= 4

I don't think anyone knows what the world total for these numbers is. My guess is the number of installations is well into the thousands, quite possibly in the tens of thousands, and the number of active lists is in the tens of thousands, but that's only my guess. I don't know how I would even go about trying to validate that.
