I don't have the stats for that. Don't know if Hannes knows.
From the stats I have, I know about approximately 1000 visits to the
download page per month. How many of these actually translate into
downloads I don't know. Plus I know about approximately 10'000
additional direct downloads (not accessing via the download web page)
per year based on stats from sites like versiontracker.com,
macupdate.com, apple.com and freshmeat.net.

It's really hard to say. A lot more than we think, I think. It seems
I'm increasingly coming across people that have used helma for several
month or even years without that they ever subscribed to a mailing
list, popped into the irc channel or blogged/mentioned helma before.
Plus, since Helma is BSD licensed, I'm sure there are quite a lot of
companies out there that have built their business/products on top of
Helma, but that do not talk about it publicly. For example, I only
learned about Axiom, a commercial Helma fork (
http://axiomstack.com/),
when one of their employees came to the #helma irc channel a few
months ago, even-though they seem to have been around for years and
are subscribed to the mailing list.
