I got a good chuckle out of Nicholas' comment in Shlomi's latest controversial thread on p5p.
You may not be counting, but there are about a dozen active perl 5 developers on p5p, about half with commit rights. Similarly parrot has about 5 active committers.
This is the number of competent volunteers that a well established 16-year old programming language used by many individuals and many organisations can muster. From the entire world.
Although, to be honest, that's kinda scary.
Possibly what I should have added is that none of this dozen working on perl 5 are full time. All are part time, all are volunteers. I'd guess that we have 1 FTEperl5-porter.
