These numbers represent the state in late 2011. If you can help out with
completing the lines matching ^\?{3}, I’d highly appreciate that
information. I’m also open to add figures of other projects / organizations.
Please also note, that I do not give any warranty that these figures are
correct (just in case you’re re-publishing them and get caught ☺).
| ~1700 | WHAT WG mailing list subscribers |
| 1556 | Firefox contributors |
| ~600 | Mozilla Corp. employees |
| 431 | people in the HTML WG |
| 321 | committers to WebKit |
| 94 | jQuery contributors |
| 73 | people in the CSS WG |
| 47 | people in the RDF WG |
| 46 | people in the SVG WG |
| 37 | people in the WCAG WG |
| 23 | contributors to Firebug |
| ??? | people in the IETF HTTP WG |
| ??? | people in TC39 (ECMAScript standards group) |
There is a graphical representation of the numbers as bar chart. However I decided against showing it here, because it’s rather pointless and basically just gives a wrong impression of relative importance.
To all those people (and all the others of projects I didn’t mention), thank you for your hard work to make the web better!
