If there is a web site that allows self registration, and display the registered site names, that may be a way to handle this.

I don't think there will ever be an official count since there are

list on Lib-Web-Cats of libraries using Koha that LibLime tries to keep
as up to date as possible: http://www.librarytechnology.org/libwebcats/
wow... lists only a few french libraries, there are at least 50 in fact
(BibLibre clients) + some I don't know
Many open source products call back to base to check for updates,
register, etc.
Koha could optionally do the same when it is fired up. The option
to do so could be determined at installation time, so that the
library is clearly informed that they can optionally call back to base
for statistics gatehring purposes.
Yea, that would certainly tell us how many installations of Koha there had been during a given period, but not how many systems are up and running in production.
