The 2014 edition of the ROS Metrics Report is now posted at: http://download.ros.org/downloads/metrics/metrics-report-2014-07.pdf
This is the 4th version of the ROS Metrics report. All are versions are available at: http://wiki.ros.org/Metrics
The ROS community has grown in almost every metric. The one exception is that the number of wiki pages has dropped. This is due to a concerted cleanup effort earlier this year which removed a lot of empty pages with little to no content.
The other metric which warrants note is the large growth in the number of unique IPs per month, up to 49,153 from last years sampling of 11,078. And the total downloads of packages more than doubled to 3,570,374 downloads.
And all of these numbers do not count the any statistics for mirrors either private or public.
If you have a moment we recommend you take a look. There are many interesting statistics such as ROS users by country and the top 40 most downloaded packages.
