And that misses the point, That's just companies - were a majority is volunteer time. Like Chris is paid to work on Koha 1 FTE, but that's only about 1/2 of the amount of time he works on Koha, easily another 40 hours a week is all completely volunteer. Good difficult questions Marshall (you totally got me thinking today - I love it) - I don't think the project will ever be fairly compared. I'd just say the open source project rocks all by itself ;) On Thu, Feb 12, 2015 at 1:24 PM, Brendan Gallagher < info@bywatersolutions.com> wrote:
Now that we have a better idea of the answer you are looking for.
Roughly estimating all companies that support Koha (12 of them in India, 6 in Spain alone) I'd say Koha is 1500+ easily.

Brendan,
Some personnel FTE numbers from last year can be seen on the tables from the Library Systems Report:
http://www.americanlibrariesmagazine.org/sites/americanlibrariesmagazine.org...
The numbers are for the company overall, and not limited to efforts expended on specific products or projects.
In that case for Catalyst there are 235 staff, of which 182 are devs
