Unknown. We've had up to 1200 on the users list. Some multiple of that.

>2.  Major US and Canadian companies that have used (or are using) MapServer
>(eg. USACE, Natural Resources Canada)
>3.  Attendance at first user conference vs. second user conference

Roughly 1st was 120, 2nd was 220

>4.  Percent increase in users since ~2000 (or some time in the late 1990's)?

A rough, probably conservative, guess would be 1000%. Users list has probably
grown by 500%+ in that time.

I throw these out as a starting point.
