[Qgis-user] Re: Closure of forum, one month on.

[Nathan Woodrow]

So the stats are in for March, April, and some of May, using the query
http://data.stackexchange.com/gis/query/68778/how-many-posts-per-month-for-a-tag?TagName=qgis

The results are:

02-2012 = 346
03-2012 =  400
04-2012 =  556
05-2012 =  596

Some pretty sharp increases there.
