People read the mailing list via other means, too (Nabble, for example).
Or maybe there are user-only on Nabble. But I guess not so much ? Or not more that in Pharo-users. Pierre 2015-01-26 17:59 GMT-03:00 Pierre CHANSON <chans.pierre@gmail.com>:
thanks! Around 500, it's still impressive.
I guess I can count a little bit less to have a number on Pharo devs, Pharo active community.
But it is difficult to put a real number on pharo users: If we consider that all Pharo devs (or almost) are in the both lists, (And I guess this is not so false because my feeling is that Pharo devs tend to help new Pharo users) it means there is no Pharo user-only, or there is no Pharo user-only in the mailing list... And at first I would have thought that begin to use Pharo, comes with applying to the mailing list (because there is not a lot of tutorials and documentations for any kind of Pharo applications all arround the net).

probably the biggest reason is that the list has been quite inactive till now. Another is that many of pharo users find it easy to contribute back to pharo because of the nature of the enviroment and the third , the community is just to small to have a sizable pharo-user list. Personally I am surprised that Pharo-dev has not much more.
