I would suggest in the first section an additional entry:

QGIS Libraries - developer libraries that allow you to build
geospatially enabled applications using C++ and Python.

Further suggestions:

- write out 'including' in full (instead of incl. in on the fly
projection section)
- The QGIS project is holding regular developer meetings. -> The QGIS
project holds developer meetings twice a year.
- The QGIS user guide is available as PDF download and print-
on-demand book in English and German, and PDF-only in French, Italian
and Russian. -> The QGIS Desktop Application is well documented - the
user guide is available as PDF download and print-on-demand book in
English and German, and PDF-only in French, Italian and Russian.
- Users map: n.o. in legend should be no. or maybe nicer to use #
- Users map - perhaps change Data: sentance to read: Data based on IP
addresses of users accessing the QGIS 'contributed' plugin repository
between ...

For the stats I use variants of this url:

http://www.qgis.org/cgi-bin/awstats.pl?urlfilter=%2Fdownloads%2FQGIS-OSGeo4W-1.7.3-.*-Setup.exe&urlfilterex=&output=urldetail&config=qgis&framename=mainright&month=all&year=2011

You can swap the month param and version number to get month by month
stats. The spreadsheet I use to create the charts is in QGIS repo
under doc, entitled qgis-download-stats.ods - if you update it /
beautify it, feel free to send me your changed version and I will
commit it.

Its a great looking poster you are making! Thanks for the new year
wishes and right back to you and everyone on this list!

Regards

Tim
